Software License Information

There are several options for ArcGIS, including a 12-moth license for personal computers and access to ArcGIS Online.

Mathematica

MathematicaLicensing is available for faculty, staff, and students. This site license covers both university-owned computers and personal computers.

MATLAB

MATLAB is available to all UCSB faculty, staff, and students for use on their personal computers, as well as on university-owned computers. This is a site license negotiated by the Campus Office Of Software Licensing (COSL). Visitors and visiting researchers not employed by UCSB are not eligible for personal use but may use it on university-owned computers.

Microsoft Office

Students

Students have access to Office 365 at no additional charge.

Faculty/Staff

The Math department does not currently buy into the UC site license. However, licenses are available for university-owned computers at a steep discount. Email sysadmin@math.ucsb.edu for details if you need Office.

Overleaf

Anyone at UCSB with a free Overleaf account can have it linked to UCSB's instance for easier access. Research faculty engaged in collaborative projects are eligible for a no-cost upgrade to Overleaf Professional, handled on a case-by-case basis. More information.

SPSS

COSL has negotiated a site license for SPSS on a year-to-year basis. This is available to faculty, staff, and employed grad students. Home use and non-university-owned computers are not covered.
