If you need to install a software that is not already installed or available from the lab, you need a valid license for that particular software. We can arrange for such software to be installed if the user has a valid license. If there is interest from large number of users in a particular software, we can also arrange for the lab to buy this software (provided it is intended for research purposes.)
