    • The PI must have an appointment at Cornell University or Weill Cornell Medicine. Generally, any PI eligible for internal pricing is eligible for a user account for most of these commercial software packages. There are exceptions to this general rule and some packages may not be available to WCM researchers.

    • You must make payment using a Cornell University or Weill Cornell Medicine administered account (BTI and USDA included - see billing policy for details).
    • The software may be installed on multiple machines associated with the subscriber's lab. The software cannot be shared with other lab groups. If it is installed on a shared or departmental computer, you must take steps to prevent its use by other groups or all groups involved must maintain an account.
    • The software cannot be used for any commercial purpose.
    • You must report any replacement, rebuilding or addition of computers on which the software will be operating.
    • Software subscriptions are invoiced monthly until a request to cancel the subscription is received by the facility. No credit or refund will be provided for previous months regardless of software use.
