Managed Software Center Available for College-Owned Macs
Effective date: February 13, 2017
On February 13, we will deploy the Managed Software Center to all College-owned Macs. Mac users will now be able to install and update software from a trusted location without needing to contact a service technician.
Key Features and Benefits
Managed Software Center apps are tested and approved for use on College Macs.
The Managed Software Center allows those with College-owned Macs to:

- Remove old software
- Update apps
The Managed Software Center will promote security and stability by helping keep software up-to-date.
