CN is rolling out a service that will allow users to install software on their systems without CN assistance or administrative passwords. The first product they are rolling out with this service is Office 2013. CN asked that we have a few users test this out before rolling it out to the entire department. If you are interested in testing this, please mail Stephen at stephen.hotard@oregonstate.edu and he will provide instructions how to use this service.
