Appstream

Appstream is a cloud-based application streaming service from Amazon AWS that enables Cal State East Bay students, faculty and staff to access specialized academic software previously only available in on-campus labs—using a web browser. Programs that are currently available in Virtual Computer Labs include Minitab, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Adobe Suite, Chrome, Microsoft Office 365 Suite, Google File Stream and more. The software is organized by application type, accessible by two different links.
