Software Site Licenses

This site contains links to Boston College's site licensed software for use by members of the BC community. Certain downloads may be restricted and require authorization. With the exception of the software on this list, departments and schools will now be responsible for new software purchases for faculty, staff and for departmental labs.

Before you purchase software, please visit the software information page and Ordering Hardware and Software page  to review some important things to consider.

Effective June 1, there will be a site license for Matlab which includes student use. This site license will include many toolboxes. More information will be posted on this site soon.
