Stata is installed on all ND computer clusters (including the OIT General Virtual Lab, which allows you to use a standard Windows computer image virtually from your own device (more information on using/saving files in the Virtual Lab can be found in this Knowledge Base article)). Faculty/staff may install ND's Stata license from OIT's website but only onto ND-owned computers. To get Stata onto your personal computer without using the Virtual Lab, there is no other option but to buy a personal license (students get discounted pricing).
