Overleaf Software Licensing

Revision as of 16:41, 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-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.

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.

Licensing Notes

  • 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.

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