Técnico provides students, faculty, researchers and staff with a set of licenced software, most of which is free.
The available software is meant to be used exclusively in the academic or work context, and never commercially.
Access
To access the software, you need to be an authenticated user (in Técnico’s centralised authentication system).
Depending on whether you are a student, professor, researcher or employee, you can take advantage of various licences, negotiated annually between Técnico or the Rectory, and the software manufacturer.
Similarly, system administrators who work with Técnico’s laboratories and/or computer rooms can or should install the software provided here on the machines they administer.
