Free Software for NSGHS Students
All NSGHS students are entitled to one (1) free copy of Adobe Captivate, CS6 Design, Photoshop
Elements, Premiere Elements, Presenter, Microsoft Office & Windows. If you are using a BYOD
device at school, you should install Microsoft Office on that device.
Once you have completed the process, you will be given a serial key and software download. As the
serial key is unique and belongs to you, don’t lose it or hand it out! Be mindful of the internet
