We have a campus-wide site licence for ChemOffice+ Cloud that includes all current students, faculty, and staff at Stanford.  This agreement includes the desktop version of ChemOffice Professional (PC) and ChemDraw Professional (Mac).  Our agreement includes the PerkinElmer Signals Notebook Individual Edition, a cloud-based electronic notebook, and ChemDraw Cloud. ChemDraw can be used for searching SciFinder and Reaxys.  Mnova ChemDraw Edition is also included with ChemOffice Professional but is a "lite" version of the software.  Because we have a site license to the full version of Mnova, we don't recommend using Mnova ChemDraw.  Learn more about what's new.

After installing the software on a personal computer, users do not need to be connected to the network to use it.   The software is also loaded on the cluster computers located in libraries, dorms, and computing clusters.  The current license agreement expires December 30, 2024.

There are two different registration systems and accounts associated with our site license.  Use FireFox or Internet Explorer. 

1. PerkinElmer website to register for the latest versions of the desktop software.
2. PerkinElmer site license website and do a search for Stanford University to register for Signals Notebook Individual Edition and ChemDraw Cloud which are cloud-based applications.

When registering, please use your Stanford email address.  Valid email addresses domains are:
•    @stanford.edu
