(Rebecca Barkmeier also has access to our Education Hub in the Azure PortalStore.)
The AT will download the software then make it available to the requesting STEM faculty, keeping is required to keep records of whom they provide the software product and product keys to, when, and for which computers.
ATs, please note that the number of downloads of each product for your login may be limited (e.g., one download, and one more for backup), so keep a copy of the downloaded software for later distribution on other computers or to fulfill other faculty requests.
