Availability: This product is installed in the centrally managed Windows Labs in the ADIT domain, located in CTLM and the Library, and possibly other campus labs. Additional installations may be made in accordance with the legal scope of the license described below.
Scope of License: Campus-wide educational site license, available for installation on campus-owned and campus-located machines for use by faculty, staff and students primarily in support of CSM's academic mission.
Note: Separate licensing for other uses, including home use or research, must be purchased directly from Golden Software or a 3rd party vendor; please contact them for further information.
Method for Obtaining: If you need Surfer installed on a CSM-owned machine, plese submit a request for installation to the Mines Help Center. Please do not submit requests to install the software on a single or limited-number of lab machines; the software "build" on lab machines is frozen in support of the CSM academic mission and CCIT can not accommodate "on-the-fly" lab installations.
Cost to Qualified CSM End-Users: CCIT does not currently charge for use of this license in supported labs and classrooms.
Documentation: Available at Golden Software's Surfer FAQ web-site.
In case of difficulties running the software in a CSM CCIT managed lab: Contact CCIT via the Mines Help Center! We want the program to be properly installed, licensed and functioning. If you have questions about the use of the program, please contact your instructor, TA or lab manager. If you would like additional study materials, search Skillsoft and Books 24x7 for Self-Study Courses and/or books.
