The Stat Apps Server (also called WinCompute) gives UT Austin students, faculty, and staff access to a Windows remote desktop with statistical and mathematical software. Permission does not need to be granted to access the server; anyone with an active EID can connect.

Software Included
HLM, Mathematica, Matlab, Mplus, SAS, Stata, R & R Studio, Microsoft Office Suite
Guidelines for using the Stat Apps Server
- Do not store critical files on your Stat Apps Server profile, as they are not saved long-term. You can download files from UT Box, Dropbox, an e-mail account, etc. to access on the server. You can also share local drives from your computer through the remote desktop connection and access files that way.
- The Stat Apps Server does not meet the requirements for storing Category-I data. Do not store Category-I data on your profile on the server.
- There are a limited number of seats on the server, with an even more limited number of licenses for some software. Please be aware that users may not have access to all software at all times.
- The Stat Apps Server is intended for short-duration personal projects or for trying out a new software package prior to purchasing. We do not recommend using the Stat Apps Server for work related to dissertations, theses, publications, or time-sensitive projects. We cannot guarantee that the Stat Apps Server will always be available, and access may be limited.
