Tethered Software

Help?

Who can use tethered software?

Tethered software can only be activated by someone with a CAE login.

When?

Install software now, and run it later. You can also legally copy the installation CD-ROMs onto your computer or your own CD-ROMs for future installation (because you will be using it with your CAE login).

Where?

  • Option #1: Map a network drive (Works best with fast internet connection).
  • Option #2: Check out CD-ROMs for installation from Wendt Library Service Desk. (After installation you don't need CD-ROMs to run the software).

What is and isn't tethered software?

  • Also known as "client/server licensing"
  • Most tethered software is also available from CAE computers.
  • Some tethered software is ONLY available by mapping a drive - it is not available on CAE computers, and cannot be checked out at Wendt.
  • Non-tethered software is ONLY available from CAE computers or CAE remote desktop, and cannot be accessed by mapping a drive, or checked out at Wendt.
