Information on service entitlement and the applications available for use.

The Windows Azure Desktop Service (AVD) enables you to use applications you need for your studies but are not installed on your computer as long as you are online. 

You can find all the applications available for AVD on the remote software apps list. Use the search box or A-Z list to find the application you want. Selecting an app from the list will provide specific details of how to access it.

Search the remote software apps list

The technology we use to make the applications available may change over time. For this reason, please start on the remote software apps list page every time you need to use an application to make sure you access it in the right way. For each app in the list you will find specific access details.

Not all applications are available to everyone – your course will determine which applications you have access

You can find some general guidance on working with streaming applications here.
