====== Proprietary Software ======
Proprietary software, also called nonfree software, means software that doesn't respect users' freedom and community. This means that its developer or owner has power over its users. To know more about this please see [[http://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html|here]].

Usually these type of softwares also require you to buy a license. We have a license server with the aim of serving licenses to all machines in the Lorentz Institute should they need to run a proprietary software. However, we do not have unlimited number of licenses, therefore a license must be available for you to use a proprietary software. 

To check the availability of  licenses type for instance
<code>
licenses matlab
</code>

For an extensive guide, please refer to [[general_software:matlab|this]] document.

===== Other =====
Should you want to buy extra licenses or a new license for a proprietary software that is not installed on the system, please contact ''bestellingen''.
