Important Note:
The software subscription program is currently being revised as part of a DCO feee restructuring. We expect the new system to take effect at the beginning of the new fiscal year (July 2009). Currently, enrollment in the program entails a $15 monthly fee per machine. For up to date information, please contact us.
We have partnered with CAEN and ITCS to provide a variety of high-end and professional software titles to the EECS community. This software is available through our Software Subscription Program.
Elegability Requirements
- It must be registered and have paid the one time departmental support fee.
- It must be running a supported operating system (Windows and most varieties of Linux/Unix).
Additional Notes
- In most cases, the workstation must be connected to the DCO Network in order for subscription software to run. This is due to licence server restrictions.
- Many subscription applications have a finite limit on the number of concurrent users across the network. This limit is rarely reached, though it has occasionally occured with Matlab. If this becomes a problem, additional licences can be purchased.
- Many of the software packages are restricted to academic (teaching/research) use only. Use in commercial activities (such as consulting) is generally not permitted per license agreements. For more details, please contact us.
- Software packages that support multiple plaforms often don't support all features on each platform. For example, only a small portion of Cadence tools are available on Windows.
Enrollment
If you understand the elegability requirements and notes above, you can request access to any of the software titles below by contacting us.
Software Available for Home Use
If you use/manage a machine that is enrolled, you may also qualify to install a second copy of the software listed below for home use.
