Licenses ChemIT directly manages or bulk-purchases

• ChemBio3D
  • ChemOffice Professional 15 includes ChemDraw and other software. — This page helps clarify what is included in PerkinElmer's ChemOffice Professional 15 ensemble, which is the software licensed by the Cornell University Library for the Cornell community.
  • Roles of the Library, CIT, and ChemIT, for ChemBioDraw — Funding for ChemBioDraw is generously provided by the Library. ChemIT provides support for CCB department users.
• Intel compilers
  • Intel licensing information — Intel's licensing and their names can cause confusion. This page hopefully helps inform us about Intel's "non-commercial" license and its intents.
• Microsoft Imagine (was DreamSpark) — Microsoft allows use of select software for education and research, including their operating systems and programming tools.
  • Chemistry Department and MS DreamSpark — Chemistry IT signed up, at no cost, for a Microsoft DreamSpark Premium subscription to benefit Chemistry Department educators, researchers, and graduate students in October 2013. One benefit, for example, is that Chemistry Department graduate students can now get a copy of the current version of Windows ($40-200) on their personal laptops, for free (one licensed copy per OS level). As well as other Microsoft software.
  • DreamSpark licensing rules and interpretations — ChemIT has highlighted some of the MS DreamSpark program licensing rules on this page. And Oliver has documented his interpretation, FWIW.
  • Microsoft DreamSpark Admin — Everyone at Cornell can access "DreamSpark Standard" for free. STEM use for research and teaching can also get "DreamSpark Premium" for free, under Cornell's MS site-license agreement (versus $499 enrollment + annual renewal fee). ChemIT's subscription expires 2017-10-16.
  • MS DreamSpark licensing history at CCB — If CCB pays for a subscription and administers permission lists, CCB faculty and students get professional developer tools and software from Microsoft via downloads.
• PGI compiler — PGI compiler required to compile Gaussian so ChemIT renews maintenance at $810/yr.

Leslie Kinsland, Ealick's group, manages CU's SBGrid software licensing.

Software not licensed by ChemIT

• Autodesk, including AutoCad and Inventor — For Windows and Mac: Licensed for any Cornell-owned computer. And more!
• CrystalMaker
• EndNote — EndNote licensing is expensive and options are varied and not straightforward. This page attempts to untangle their costs and trade-offs related to the different buying and upgrading options.
• LabVIEW — The Chemistry Department pays CU Software for this license on behalf of all uses in Chemistry. It was $1,800 in 2015.
• Microsoft Office for Chemistry Grad students — Everyone at Cornell can get MS Office for free, on their personal devices.
  • Info from before O365's license allowed everyone to get 5 copies for their personal computers. — DEPRECATED PAGE. Grads used to have to buy Office if they wanted it on their personal computers. Microsoft has since changed their licensing of O365.
• Pearson Crystal Data software — Oliver's installation notes from June 15, 2016, sent to Leah at the Library.
• Software licensed centrally (for researchers), but with issues
