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.

Important Update --- As of November 10, 2011 the $15 monthly fee for software subscription has been eliminated. All machines that have been registered with DCO and have paid the one-time support fee are now elegible to have subscription software installed at no additional charge.

Elegability Requirements

  • The machine MUST be registered and have paid the one-time support fee. If you are unsure if your machine has been registered, you can send us the hostname (hostname.eecs.umich.edu), MAC address, or IP address and we'll verify eligibility for you.
  • The machine MUST be running a supported operating system (Windows, Mac OS, and most varieties of Linux).

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.
  • Many vendors include a huge number of software pakcages of which only a sample of the most important are listed.
  • This set of software is subject to change.

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 registered, you may also qualify to install a second copy of the software listed below for home use.
