Zemax for EE118
----------------
 
  Zemax (http://www.zemax.com/) produces software for optical and 
  illumination design.  Prof Waller obtained OpticStudio-Premium-NET
  for EE118/EE218A (Optical Engineering) in Spring 2019 (licensed 
  until 15 Jun 2019).

  Previously, Zemax-IE was installed for EE118/EE218A on the Windows 
  workstations in 199 Cory.  Those licenses have expired.

Zemax on Servers (unsupported)
------------------------------

  We installed Zemax on several Windows remote desktop servers:

  wserver1.eecs.berkeley.edu
  wserver2.eecs.berkeley.edu
  wserver3.eecs.berkeley.edu
  wserver4.eecs.berkeley.edu

  However, Zemax is not officially supported on servers by the vendor,
  so we could guarantee that it works there.  In the past, users have 
  run Zemax on our servers to do some basic things, but they could not 
  display the design.
  
  See http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/pub.cgi?file=microsoft-rdc.help
  for instructions about how to login to those servers.

Zemax Licenses
--------------

  Zemax nework licenses run on an Instructional server.  They require a
  USB license key, which is on loan from the vendor and must be returned
  to them each year for renewal.  They update it and return it to us.
