Software ChemIT does not directly manage

Software licensed centrally (for researchers), but with issues:

  • Endnote. Can be expensive.
    • See Cornell Library page for
    • Version X7, (10/2015). All offerings seem to be multiplatform (Windows / Mac) and perpetual (of same version; not free version upgrades).
      • BOTTOM LINE: Most convenient and usually cheapest way is get a new license from the Campus Store (physical, only).
      • ChemIT attempted to bulk-license for a group summer 2015 and it was not cheaper than buying boxes at the Campus Store.
      • http://store.cornell.edu/p-185246-endnote-x7-faculty-and-staff-windows-macintosh.aspx
        • $219.95 (faculty/ staff), physical only.
          • Versus faculty/ academic staff retail $219.95., <http://endnote.com/buy>.
          • Versus full-price retail of $249.95 ($299.95 shipped (physical)).
        • $119.95 (student), physical only.

      • Retail version upgrades at Campus Store is $109.95 for physical.
        • Retail download-only is $99.95. And physical, shipped is $109.95 (but then add shipping?).
        • Odd: "Academic" upgrade (Students/Faculty/Staff ) is $108.95, so costs more?! <http://endnote.com/buy> or <http://endnote.com/interstitial>.
        • Note: You must have a fully licensed previous version of EndNote installed on your computer to qualify for the upgrade product.
        • Note: You’ll need your serial number from X6 (or earlier) to activate.
    • Cost factors include: Bulk licensing, academic and student licensing (who is paying for it matters), and if buying new or upgrading a version.

Software licensed centrally (for researchers), and mostly all good:

  • Autodesk, including AutoCad and Inventor
  • LabVIEW
  • Maple
  • 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):
    • This license will also allow them to use Matlab on-line:
