Your student email can often get you access to different software packages for free or at a reduced price. Some of these are opportunities provided by McMaster University, but others are offered externally. Below is a collection of these packages and how to access them.

== Internal Software ==

=== Microsoft Office 365 ===
McMaster provides a site-wide license to Microsoft's suite of office tools like Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Instructions for activating this license can be found [http://mcmaster.ca/uts/licensing/msstudents.html here].

Generally, just follow this link: https://portal.office.com/. To sign in, use your student id attached to ''@ads.mcmaster.ca''.

=== LabVIEW ===
LabVIEW is a visual programming language, specializing in systems engineering and available for Mac or PC. McMaster has access to a site-wide license paid for by the engineering department [https://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/software_downloads/pickup.html#labview]. You can get access to LabVIEW by picking up the installation disk from UTS (University Technology Services) in BSB-245.

Along with the install disks you will find a serial code to activate the software. If you create an account on [http://www.ni.com/en-ca.html National Instruments], you can actually register this serial code under your account, giving you access to the latest software downloads for both Mac and PC.

== External Software ==

=== Github Student Developer Pack ===
https://education.github.com/pack

Github is a development and version control platform. Registering a student account will give you a free subscription to Github. This gives you access to creating free repositories for your code.

The ''student pack'' also gives you access to numerous deals for other software, like a 50$ credit for [https://www.digitalocean.com/ DigitalOcean] (a cloud server service that you could use to host a website. Pricing starts at 5$/month).

It is also possible to get a free subscription to an ''organization'' account. For instance, if you have a Github organization for your Lab and want the repositories under it to be private, you can do so for free this way.

=== Jetbrains Software ===
https://www.jetbrains.com/student/
Jetbrains provides a suite of IDE's for many different programming languages including Python, Ruby, SQL databases and more.
