Weinberg Standard Computer Software

NORTHWESTERN IT SOFTWARE IMAGE

All Windows and Mac computers purchased within Weinberg are set up by Northwestern IT with a standard software image. This speeds up the setup of new computers and enables the IT staff to re-image a computer when there are complex software problems, preserving all of the user’s data and lowering the time needed to get the computer repaired.

Weinberg College and Northwestern University maintain license agreements for faculty and staff for all software on the Northwestern IT Software Image; faculty and staff do not need to order or pay for this software.
