Licensed software on FASRC clusters
Please note that FASRC does not directly purchase software for labs/schools. If you are looking to purchase software for your lab’s use, before purchasing a license, contact FASRC to evaluate whether the software can be installed. Requirements for a licensed software:
- Must use FlexNet (former FlexLM) licensing
- License cannot be tied to specific nodes/machines
- Linux-compatible (x86) software (Windows-only software cannot be installed)
- Should not have a max core count
- Should not have a limit on number of sessions
Your lab, department, or school should make that purchase either directly with the vendor or by contacting HUIT software licensing. Please note that any software intended to be run on the cluster should have a Linux-compatible licensing mechanism and Linux (x86) software.
Other/non-cluster software:
- For desktop version of Mathematica or MATLAB, see the FAS downloads page (HUID/PIN required)
- For other university software offerings, please see:
- For GaussView, or MOE download info, see our software download page (FASRC login and FASRC VPN connection required)
- JMP – FASRC no longer has access to a JMP license and HUIT does not currently provide one. Please see: JMP Academic licensing for purchasing/trial options.
