You will need to use a USB drive in order to save the download. You will not be able to save them on the University network because your personal area (the G: drive) does not allow you enough space. The downloads are very big - hundreds of megabytes in most cases. You will need your own unique serial number for each install and you can get this from the Software Download page. Since each product download can be installed any number of times, it only needs to be downloaded once and then copied to your friends. It's also a good idea to share downloads with your friends. Try them all if you want but make sure you have a fast internet connection some of the downloads are over a gigabyte! It may be sensible to download the software at the University, which has a very fast internet connection. There, you will find a long list of downloads. Once you have them, you can log-in and go to the Software Downloads page. Your log-in details will be sent to the email address you used to sign-up. To get your free software, follow the link above to the Student Community site and sign-up using the email address given to you by the University.
