UFApps

On December 18, 2024, Project and Visio will be removed from UFApps offerings.

Students can obtain free individual licensing for Visio Professional and Project Professional through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching. For more details, visit Microsoft's page on Azure for Students. Instructions to register into the program and obtain the software can be found on the Instructions to Register Azure Dev Tools for Teaching page.

For more context: Microsoft Project Pro and Visio Pro were provided in UFApps under the Microsoft Imagine Premium subscription for STEM programs. In the February 2019 timeframe, Imagine Premium was transitioned to Azure Dev Tools for Teaching. Azure Dev Tools for Teaching make software available to EDU customers to download and install with an associated activation key. Microsoft licensing for Project and Visio is per user and not compliant with being used as a virtualized application which would enable concurrent use by multiple users. Due to this compliance concern, we will no longer provide Project and Visio through UFApps. Let us know if you have any other questions by submitting a ticket.

Esri, the vendor for ArcGIS Pro is implementing a change which will require users to sign in with their GatorLink account when launching ArcGIS Pro from UFApps. This change will take effect this Friday, November 22nd. Please note that the exact time of this update has not been specified by the vendor.
