The user community at the Colorado School of Mines has access to a wealth of software in support of the academic mission of CSM. Individual academic departments and research centers and institutes maintain labs with specialized software for use by people associated with them. Academic Computing and Networking (AC&N) maintains computer labs and remotely accessible computing resources with both general purpose and specialized software available to the campus at large -- see the Facilities and Resources page for comprehensive details and locations of labs.
Some of the software we have obtained is available to the CSM community for installation and use on machines other than ours for low or no cost.
Licensing restrictions vary by product. One typical restriction is that the licensed software only be installed on a campus-owned campus-located machine for use by the CSM community in support of instruction; under such a license the software would not be available for installation on personally owned machines, off campus machines or in support of commercial activities or funded research. Some are more liberal; our AntiVirus software is available, without charge, by faculty, staff and students for home use and on personally owned machines. Some licenses are more restrictive or may have a cost to the end-user attached to them. Check below for details.
The brief summaries presented here are intended as a concise outline of our understanding of the major points of our licenses, and do not override the legal documents that are in place.
A good place to start when inquiring about installation of any CSM-owned software would be the Mines Help Center.
