Overview
Managed software for SIU-owned Windows PCs may be delivered thru Microsoft Software Center for self-service installation. The experience is similar to a mobile app store:
- Connect to the campus network.
- Open Software Center.
- Browse or search the software catalog.
- Install and uninstall software.
Install/Uninstall Managed Software
1. Connect to Campus Network: If working on campus, connect to the Ethernet wired network or eduroam wireless network. If working remotely or on a private campus network, sign into the Virtual Private Network (VPN).
2. Open Software Center: Open the Software Center app from the Windows Start app list or from Windows Search.


3. Browse or Search Software Catalog: To browse or search the managed software catalog, select the Applications tab for available applications to install or select the Installation Status tab for installed applications to uninstall.

4. Install/Uninstall Software: Select the Applications or Installation Status tab, select an application, note application details (like Restart Required, Download Size, and Estimated Time), then click Install or Uninstall.

SAS
- Software Center: Use Software Center to install the SAS 9.4 application.
- Note well: If SAS installation fails on the first attempt, retry the install. The SAS installer sometimes needs to install required Microsoft components and quit before it can install SAS.
- SAS: Open the SAS 9.4 app to confirm successful license activation.

Troubleshooting
1. Campus Network Connection Required: If working on campus, connect to the Ethernet wired network or eduroam wireless network. If working remotely or on a private campus network, sign into the Virtual Private Network (VPN).
2. Software Center Cannot Be Loaded: Software Center is unavailable for a few minutes after a computer starts up.

3. Refresh Software Center Catalog: Stay connected to the campus network for a few hours to automatically refresh an out-of-date software catalog, especially for computers that have been offline or off campus. Alternatively, try to force a refresh:
- Open Control Panel, open Configuration Manager properties, then click the Actions tab.
- Select the Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle action, then click Run Now.
- Select the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle action, then click Run Now.
- Wait ~5-10 minutes, then re-open Software Center.
4. Blocking Applications: If prompted, close any open applications that are blocking installation.
5. Pending Restarts: Restart the computer, login, then wait a few minutes before returning to Software Center to retry the installation.
6. Signed-In Users: Restart the computer to sign out other signed-in/disconnected users.
7. Wireless Network Connectivity: If a campus wireless network connection is slow or unstable during installation, switch to the Ethernet wired network and try again.
8. Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connectivity: If a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is slow or unstable during installation, bring the computer to campus and try again.
