IUanyWare is a client virtualization service available to Indiana University students, faculty, and staff. With IUanyWare, you can use a web browser or mobile app to run certain IU-licensed software applications without having to install them on your computer or mobile device.

Get started

To get started with IUanyWare, follow the instructions in Set up and use IUanyWare.

Use IUanyWare

There are two main ways to use IUanyWare:

Apps: To use a specific application using IUanyWare, you can go to the Apps tab in IUanyWare and choose an application from the selection provided. Available apps include Microsoft Suite apps (Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.), Microsoft Teams, RStudio, Remote Desktop Connection, and more.
Desktops: To use an IUanyWare desktop, go to the Desktops tab in IUanyWare. If you can access IUanyWare Desktops, you will see the "IUanyWare Desktop", which is the standard desktop available to all users.
