Software for Faculty/Staff Home Use
Microsoft and Adobe products: If your department has purchased an Adobe or Microsoft application license (non-application licenses including Windows do not have this benefit) for your work machine, you are allowed to use the same license to install on a secondary device. Microsoft requires the secondary device to be a portable device.
- The license must have been puchased under the Microsoft Select Licensing Program or the Adobe Contractual Licensing Program (usually purchased using iProcurement catalog ordering).
- The two devices can not be used simultaneously.
When you leave Stanford, you must remove the software from the secondary device. (Stanford owns the non-transferable license.)
- You can not install Windows on two machines with a single license. Each computer must be individually licensed for its own operating system. So, if you buy a license to upgrade your Windows operating system, that upgrade can only be installed on one machine, and it must be a Stanford-owned machine.
Eudora, Stuffit, Symantec Anti-Virus, and more are downloadable at Essential Stanford Software
