These lists of licensed programs are maintained by the Division of Licensing in two available formats.

PDF lists

The first format for the program lists is the Portable Document Format (PDF).

A PDF file is a file that will look the same on the screen and in print, regardless of what kind of computer or printer someone is using, and regardless of what software package was originally used to create it.

Although PDFs contain the complete formatting of the original document, including fonts and images, PDF files are highly compressed, allowing complex information to be downloaded efficiently. DHS uses the flexibility of PDF to make forms, newsletters, bulletins and other "print" documents readily available online.

Links or documents with the PDF logo indicate the portable document format. Click on the link or the graphic associated with the PDF file.

For more information about PDF, see the DHS PDF page.

CSV lists

The second format for the program lists is the CSV (comma-separated values) format. The CSV format can be downloaded. The CSV format contains the values in a table as a series of text lines organized so that each column value is separated by a comma from the next column's value and each row starts a new line. Here's an example:

Doe,John,944-7077
Johnson,Mary,370-3920
Smith,Abigail,299-3958
(etc.)

A CSV file is a way to collect the data from any table so that it can be conveyed as input to another table-oriented application. A CSV file is sometimes referred to as a flat file. For example, Microsoft Excel can read CSV files. A computer that has Microsoft Excel software will open the CSV file as a Microsoft Excel document.
