If you already have a signed Express License and wish to add more sites or more rights to it, contact license@u.washington.edu.

Modifying an Express License

If the Express License for a specific title does not meet your needs, other arrangements can be discussed. Different terms and conditions may apply when discussing modifications to the license agreements. Contact Digital Ventures at license@u.washington.edu to discuss details.

Academic Licenses

A variety of UW materials are available under an academic license to qualified licensees. Check the licensing page for the title you want for availability of an academic license.

Working with Distributors

Research software and tools distributed by the University of Washington may also be offered through licensed redistributors; these are companies we have authorized to modify and distribute the materials. Redistributors may make the materials available under terms different from those the University is able to support.
