DCO > Services > Technical Software

We have partnered with CAEN and ITS to provide a variety of high-end and professional software titles to the EECS community. This software is available to any computer registered with DCO.

Eligability 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, or a support distribution 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 or research) use only. Use in commercial activities (such as consulting) is generally not permitted. 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 packages, of which only the most commonly used are listed here.
  • This set of software is subject to change.

Enrollment

You understand the elegability requirements and notes above, you can request access to any of the software titles below by emailing help@eecs.umich.edu. You will need to provide the hostname of the machine you are using. On computers set up by DCO, the hostname is often printed on the machine itself.
