(*) Additional supported applications are available upon request.  Please send Email to support@cecs.pdx.edu to inquire if we have something licensed and prepackaged for distribution. We can also help install applications as needed.  The above lists are meant only to provide a starting point and by no means represent a complete list of the hundreds of applications supported by TheCAT.

Please note that all of our Supported boxes come with a minimum of Adobe Reader which we regularly update as required. We do not recommend Tier2 users install or update Adobe Reader or Acrobat products themselves due to possible conflicts with the supported Reader, supported patches and of course Licensing.
