ITS provides U-M student and faculty with access to virtualization applications via the VMware Academic Software Licensing Program in support of teaching and research. The program provides both desktop and infrastructure software for personal use, whether as part of STEM classes, in research projects, or for gaining hands-on experience with VMware products. Applications are provided at no cost to end users, with U-M being responsible for covering the program's operational costs through an annual subscription fee.
For information on how to access the program, refer to the ITS VMware information page.
