Supported Software

Application Software Support Criteria: Software titles will be categorized into the following three categories: FULL, LIMITED & UNSUPPORTED

  THIS IS NOT A STATIC LIST - If you do not see a software title that is needed by your school or department on any of our lists, please have your principal or department chair submit it to the Technology Department for testing.

FULL  SUPPORT SOFTWARE 

The Technology Department will provide its highest level of support for the software listed under Full Support.   This means that computers can be quickly reinstated.

LIMITED SUPPORT SOFTWARE 

If a title is listed under Limited Support, the software is allowable on any district computers, but it may experience more interruptions of operation than Fully Supported software.  Due to technical difficulties, it is a much longer process to reinstate the computer software.  For this reason, Limited Support software should not be used for essential instruction or business purposes.
