The software is on a UCL wide site licence, but you must register on an individual basis to download and use the software. If your computer requires administrator permission to install, then please contact the computer unit for help having first registered with CambridgeSoft by following the instructions below.
The licence allows up to three installations (three separate activations) on separate computers including those used off-site belonging to the same individual.
You must register with your UCL email address, associated with one of the following email domains:
“pharmacy.ac.uk”, “live.pharmacy.ac.uk”, “ucl.ac.uk” or “live.ucl.ac.uk”
Individual users can download the software via this link:
When the page appears (you must be on the page with the UCL logo), enter your email address and submit.
When the next page appears ‘click’ on the “continue” button.

Now, return to: PerkinElmer Informatics | ChemDraw/ChemOffice Subscription Gallery (or follow the link given in the email).
Enter your registered email in the box labelled “Site Licence Verification” and ‘click’ “submit”. An email will be sent to you showing your serial number (don’t lose this, you will need it later to activate your software and possibly in the future!).

If you are upgrading an older version, we recommend the removal of the old version first.
The software can be downloaded for home or office use, but each usage requires activation (you need the serial number for this). You can only activate the software three times (after which, a special request is needed).
