NSL Acquires Origin Pro 9.1 Licenses for User Purchase

NanoSystems Laboratory (NSL)  has acquired a site license for Origin Pro 9.1. It is a one year subscription for 100 concurrent instances of the program. Origin Pro can be installed on any computer, OSU owned or private that is connected to the OSU network, as long as the user is the current OSU student, staff or faculty. Once the program has been installed in the computer, users will need to acquire the license key for each session of software use. The price of the license for one computer is $87.50/year, which will be prorated to reflect purchases made later in the year. Purchases can be made via eRequest to NanoSystems Laboratory for the desired number of licenses, and should contain the list of MAC addresses of the computers on which the software will be installed. Once the eRequest is approved, NSL will issue instructions on how to access the license server. Installation of the program can be done via installation media that can be borrowed from NSL service desk.
