WebStore, Software access for consultants, affiliates and visiting scholars working for the University

To access WebStore products, an external user must first obtain a university NetID. They may contact their campus IT Service Desk for assistance obtaining a NetID. Go to NetID Center University of Illinois System (uillinois.edu) , scroll to the bottom of the page for "Need Help" and select your campus help desk to submit a request.

Urbana-Champaign campus members should refer to this KB article https://answers.uillinois.edu/illinois/128347.

Once a NetID is obtained, the user will be able to login to WebStore but most products will not be accessible. WebStore may be able to manually grant access to certain software products. A request from the external user's sponsor should be sent to WebStore at webstore@illinois.edu with details including the name of the software requested, the job description of the employee/scholar, and the reason they need the software. This request process also applies to extra-help employees, contractors, and visiting scholars.

Once access is granted, the term of license availability will be determined by the earliest of the subscription end date stated on the software product, the termination date of the employee contract, or the termination of their NetID login.

For more questions about software availability for U of I external users, email webstore@illinois.edu.
