Overleaf Software Licensing

Revision as of 16:39, 17 February 2022 by Steve410 (talk | contribs)

Overleaf is a web-based online text editor based upon LaTex. WSE is now able to provide a WSE-school-wide site license for the software. Those in WSE that are already paying license fees on their own should be able to switch over to WSE's license.

  • New users who sign up for Overleaf using their JHU email address will be prompted to confirm their affiliation through the SSO login page.
  • Existing users with a JHU email address will be encouraged to log in through SSO. For entitled users from the Whiting School of Engineering that already have a paid Overleaf subscription, they will also see a notification in their dashboard letting them know that they have access to this subscription and can cancel their personal subscription.

Overleaf's JHU page to request a license can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/edu/jhu

You can also visit WSE's page that references Overleaf NOTE: You must either be connected to the JHU VPN or be connected directly to a JHU network to access this page.

Any questions about the license or problems when obtaining a license should be directed to [wsehelp@jhu.edu]
