Cadence is available for academic research use only. Users with both industrial and academic research projects must only use this software for the academic research projects. A written statement confirming academic research only use must be included in the access request sent to CNF Computing.
Direct use by users of a United States FFRDC, National Laboratory, National Center, or National Facility operated by an academic institution for the US or foreign governments, and by a wholly federally funded research center or scientific facility (except degree-granting military schools) is also prohibited.
Academic research must be limited to Fundamental Research. Fundamental Research is basic or applied research in science and engineering, where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community. Research can be distinguished from development, design, prototyping, production, and product utilization associated with proprietary research, industrial development, or commercial purposes, where the results are ordinarily restricted for proprietary or business reasons.
None of the designs and output generated or validated through the use of the Cadence software may be licensed, sold, assigned, or otherwise commercial exploited by users of Cadence software at CNF nor by any third party. Prototypes of designs may be used solely for evaluation and measurement purposes and shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise commercially exploited.
Output and designs may be disclosed to specific Academic Foundry Services as determined by Cadence (a list of approved services in our license agreement with Cadence is available upon request). Requests made to Cadence to permit access by other foundries may be granted on a case by case basis at Cadence's sole discretion.
