Installing Software Through the Company Portal App

This article explains how to install software on your college machine through the Company Portal app.

Key Points:

• Users can install updated software that has been made available to them in the Company Portal app.
   
• Before installing software, users must verify that they are connected to the campus network (if off-campus, they will connect using the GlobalProtect VPN app).
   
• Additional software can be added for users as long as there is a justified need for it.

Instructions:

1. Click the Start menu icon down in the bottom left corner of your screen.
    
2. Look for the Company Portal app, and then click to launch it.
   
   
    
3. Allow a few moments for the Company Portal app to sign into your network account.  If you are off-campus, make sure you are connected to VPN.
    
4. In the list of Recently published apps, scroll through the list and click on the software you want to install (e.g., Adobe Acrobat).
   
   
   
   Note: If you do not see the software listed within the Recently Published Apps section, click Apps on the left side of the Company Portal window and then see if the software is available.
   
   
    
5. Click the Install button.
   
   
    
6. Wait a few minutes for your machine to start the installation of the software.  Once it is done, you should see that it was successfully installed.
   
   
    
7. Open the software on your machine (it should be available in your programs list after clicking the Start menu icon).
