CEASE: summary of third-party software usage data

Last mod: Jan. 5, 2000 ajfox
--------------------------------------------------

We have log data only for 3partysw which happens to be
license-served. We do not purchase the flexlm analysis tools, and do
not customarily use these logs for usage data; what follows was
extracted manually.  Data for RenderMan and Macromodel appears to
reflect either logs which do not measure full session length, or
repeated unsuccessful launch attempts by the same user.

Depts. with most users: Arch, EECS

RenderMan
=========

Sep. 1999: 1 user (MIT Affiliate)

Oct. 1999: 4 users (3 undergraduate, 1 graduate, EECS and Mgmt)

Nov. 1999: 6 users (3 grad, 3 unknown, EECS)

Logs do not appear to accurately reflect session length; launch numbers
seem dubious.


Macromodel (schroedinger)
=========================

Sep. 1999: 5 users (1 graduate, 1 Prof, both Chem; others test/demo)

Oct. 1999: 1 user (grad, Chem)

Nov. 1999: 3 users (2 grad, 1 postdoc, Chem)

Logs may not accurately reflect session length; launch numbers seem
dubious.
