Software Chemistry IT does not directly manage
Software licensed centrally (for researchers), but with issues:
Software licensed centrally (for researchers) and always or often licensed with Chemistry IT mediation:
Mathematica
MatLab
Researchers (all in A&S) can use MatLab (and other software) for free on free instances at CISER. So, may not want it bought for their personal computers!
ChemIT runs the license server for MatLab licenses bought by the group. Not for use by those with personal licenses, such as described below.
The group's PI or course instructor (for TAs) may instead want to buy the software for the grad student, but it will cost the PI/ course ~$200. PI may also buy that ~$200 license for a PostDoc (or keep in group?), especially since the PostDoc can’t get the lower student price.
Students can purchase a 1 year student license for MatLab from the campus store for $49 (as of 11/2015):

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.
