MATLAB License Renewal for 2020-2021

MATLAB licenses for CLASSE have been renewed until 31-Jul-2021. Most CLASSE installations of MATLAB (including the AppsAnywhere version) are network-licensed, and they will automatically pick up the new license from our license server. If you have a standalone installation of MATLAB (i.e. it runs without a network connection), please submit a service request to have your license file manually updated.

Mathematica License Renewal for 2020-2021

Mathematica licenses for CLASSE have been renewed until 30-Aug-2021, and centrally installed versions of Mathematica will automatically pick up the new license from our license server. If you have a home-use license, please submit a service request for license renewal instructions before your current license expires on 30-Aug-2020.

Samba Access for macOS

In the past, Mac users have often seen slow performance when browsing to CLASSE samba shares. To speed up samba access on CLASSE-managed Macs, we have deployed a desktop services setting using our new JAMF management system for macOS. Mac users will need to log out and log back in for the new setting to take effect.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
