ABOUT US

Since its launch in September 2001, WebStore has become a primary software distribution source for University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff. Offering over 150 software titles for purchase or download, we strive to provide the software you need at the lowest possible price.

To do this, we negotiate the best prices on site-licensed software and volume purchase contracts and assist in negotiations for departmental licenses and resource-sharing purchases by groups. We also work with ©e-academy, a software delivery and license management company, to automate and manage our products, allowing you to purchase and download conveniently over the Internet.

In Fiscal Year 2008, WebStore saved University departments, students, faculty, and staff over $12 million dollars—an average savings of $7 for every $1 of product sold.
