The SAM software is already installed on the computer systems in the CIS computer labs in the H Building. See the CIS department lab web page for rules on using these labs.  There are systems in the Science and Technology Mall which have SAM installed. Check with the lab aids to locate those systems. Other computers labs may also have SAM installed.

SAM activation at Cuyamaca

You will need to activate your SAM account by entering your key code located on the back inside cover of the case containing the SAM CD's. See the installation page for details.

To use the SAM software at home you must install it on your computer system. The SAM software included with your textbook bundle. If you didn't purchase the textbook bundle from the bookstore you will need to purchase it separately. SAM is available from the publisher (see the book information page) or copies may be available from the bookstore.

You can install the software on as many computers as you wish. The key code allows one person to activate a one SAM account which can be used on any computer where the SAM software is installed. This allows you to use SAM from several different computers including the college computer labs where SAM is installed. 

SAM installation and activation at home

If you purchased a used copy of SAM the CD's cannot be used to activate and account if the key code has been previously used. You would be able to install the software but not activate your account for this class.
