License Restrictions

Faculty/Staff

ADI Products are available for use by MIT Faculty and Staff for MIT purposes on MIT-owned machines on the Cambridge Campus. MIT Faculty may additionally use the software on their personally owned machines (one copy per faculty member) solely to facilitate classroom instruction and preparation.

Students

MIT Students may use the software on Institute owned machines located on the Cambridge Campus - such as departmental lab machines. Autodesk prohibits use of the software by students on both student-owned machines and Institute machines (such as laptops) that are allocated by MIT to students for their personal use. Students should check with their departmental liason about availability of the software on departmental machines

IS&T hopes to make some or all of this software available in the future to students on machines in the Building 37 Cluster http://web.mit.edu/windows/cluster/ When the software is installed there the site will be updated with that information.

Academic Versions of individual ADI products are available through resellers such as GovConnection and TorComp.com. These are fully functional versions, however, printouts will be marked identifying the product as a student version.

How to Obtain ADI Products?

Distribution of ADI products is by media only. In an effort to make administration easier, IS&T requests that each department using ADI products name a Liason who will be responsible for distributing the products within that department. Following is a list of participating departments and Liasons:

Architecture	Tom Fitzgerald	tfitz@mit.edu
Civil Engineering	Nick Kontopoulos Pat Dixon	nkontop@mit.edu patdixon@mit.edu
CSAIL	Jonathan Proulx	jon@csail.mit.edu
EECS / MTL	Michael Mcllrath	mbm@mtl.mit.edu
Department of Facilities	Michael Parkin	mparkin@mit.edu
Nuclear Reactor Laboratory	Ed Block	erblock@MIT.edu
Plasma Science and Fusion Center	Paul Lienard	lienard@psfc.mit.edu
Research Laboratory of Electronics	Seth Hall	seth@speech.mit.edu
Urban Studies and Planning	Michael Enos	menos@mit.edu
MIT Investment Management Co	Douglas Olander	dolander@mit.edu

If you are a listed departmental liason or your department does not have a liason, and you would like installation media for an ADI Product or products, please complete Departmental Autodesk Order Form.

The department of Architecture administers a limited number of 3DS Max licenses. Please contact the departmental liason to inquire about use of these licenses.

Updates

MIT typically receives one yearly media shipment in the summer or fall of each year for ADI products that Autodesk has updated. Updates will be listed on this site as they become available.
