Once the funds have been transferred from the account specified in the ticket, the license will be automatically assigned to user's UWin Account for subscription based products. For other products, the license key will be e-mailed to the client with instructions.

Users will also have the option to install it themselves form the University of Windsor app store or Company Portal app (replacement of SoftwareDepot).
