KCIT is making it easier to download the apps you need without having to contact the Helpdesk or require someone with special privileges on your PC. In the past, apps had to be installed by a technician with special rights.  Now apps can be self installed when it’s convenient for the end user.

Every month, we are putting more apps in the King County App Store known as the Software Center on your PC.

To get there, go to the windows icon in the lower left corner. Click and you will get to a search box. Put in the words “Software Center” and hit return and it will take you to King County’s approved software center. If the app is here, you likely have unrestricted permission to install it. For applications that require a purchased license there will be an automated method to handle that too in the near future.

There are 150+ apps there right now, and we are working toward hundreds more as we centralize all installation software.
