Some software applications in the CAEN Lab Software Environment (CLSE) have license terms that permit use only by individuals with a certain role at the University (e.g. a student enrolled in a course). If you have received an error message after attempting to run a software application on a Linux CLSE computer, it could be that you do not have a required role at the University. Depending on an application's licensing terms and your role at the College of Engineering, you may not be able to run certain software applications in the CAEN Lab Software Environment. For example, temporary staff or visiting scholars may not have access to the same software as currently enrolled students (see our online software listing for specific restrictions).
Individuals who would not otherwise be granted access to the Instructional or Research editions of software may request access to individual applications in the CLSE. Complete the CLSE Request for Software Access form to request access to a specific instructional or research software application. CAEN administrators will review the license terms for the requested application, and grant access on a case-by-case basis according to eligibility and availability.
