Some licensing agreements prevent us from installing software without the purchase of additional licenses, so you may be required to purchase the software/license before we can install it for you. If we do not have the software and it has to be ordered, it could take up to a month to obtain and install the software. If you would like us to install software for demonstration purposes in a classroom, you should notify the KCC at least 3 weeks in advanced. Please be sure and tell us exactly where we can obtain the demo or bring it with you to the Help Desk. As a rule, the Help Desk does not troubleshoot demo software. If installing the software causes other essential programs not to work, we may not be able to install it. For a software to be installed in an entire lab, please submit your request prior to the beginning of the semester when you will need it. A request can be made by contacting the Help Desk via email at help@krannert.purdue.edu.

The KCC backs-up most of the network every night and completely every weekend, so we can usually help you recover accidentally deleted files. If you delete an e-mail message there is an internal recover option built-in to Exchange Server that will save your deleted e-mails for 3 days after emptying your deleted items folder. If you need a file restored from backup a request can be made by contacting the Help Desk via email at help@krannert.purdue.edu.

Employees are asked to notify the KCC of their last day of employment by filling out a service request through the KCC Help Desk.
