There are two unique instances of the Virtual labs, however depending on your needs there may be points in which you might have to use both:
- General Purpose Lab – Includes General Purpose Computer Lab software such as Microsoft Office, SPSS, Amos, SAS, Mathematica, MATLAB, etc.
- Log into the Azure Lab Services portal at https://labs.azure.com/register/v5c4bmgc6 using your JMU eID and password.

- Log into the Azure Lab Services portal at https://labs.azure.com/register/3r61y13fe using your JMU eID and password.
If you do not specifically need College of Business-related software (or are not immediately enrolled in a College or Business course), then please attempt to use the General Purpose Lab to keep licenses available for the students who need them for coursework.
For Microsoft Project and Microsoft Visio
If you are attempting to use the Virtual Labs to use either Microsoft Project or Microsoft Visio, you will be prompted for a license key as soon as you launch them. You will need to obtain your individual license key for these products, which you can find by logging into your Microsoft Azure for Education account , and signing in with your JMU eID and Password:
- How to Obtain your Licenses for Microsoft Project or Visio
