The SLO is available to assist in purchasing software for users at CERN. General questions on software licensing at CERN should be to the software licence officer (SLO).
A good starting point for such information is to search for the product name when signed in to the Service Portal (). Software license agreements are specific to each product. This general rule needs to be checked against the specific licences in question (e.g., whether additional use on portables is permitted, "geographic conditions" - running on a CERN machine while physically at CERN, etc.). If they add licensed software while at CERN, they are morally bound and legally obliged to remove it when they leave CERN. We do not in any case license software for visitors for use on their laptops at their home institute. The user concerned shall be liable for damage resulting from any infringement of the circular. Infringement of this obligation may constitute a breach of contracts concluded by CERN with outside suppliers of computers, networks, software and services. 5, "Rules for Using CERN Computing Facilities", users shall respect the proprietary rights related to CERN computing facilities, including software copyrights. For other products the CERN's Software Licence Office is available to assist in purchasing software for users at CERN.Īs defined in Operational Circular Nr. Most of CERN licences can be used by CERN staff on laptops.
