Software Licensing

The University IT Software Licensing office acts as a main point of contact for academic software that is available for purchase or use on campus.

Software offered directly from Software Licensing

Academic software are licensed and distributed by Software Licensing. If there is general and continuing interest in a software product not yet offered on campus, we will research the request to see if we can negotiate an agreement that will benefit the university.

Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of software offered through campus providers, only academic software distributed by Software Licensing. To browse the a more comprehensive list, visit the Software at Stanford website
