SAMxp Software
Students taking CISS 170 will need to install the SAMxp software on their computer.
The SAM software is located on the CD that comes in the textbook bundle from
MBS. If you purchased used textbooks, you will need to contact your instructor
for instructions on ordering the SAM software. You will get the Institution Key
from your instructor.
In order to use SAMxp, you must have Internet Explorer 5.0 or later (it will not work with Netscape.)
You may download or upgrade Internet Explorer for free from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie.
