Access to ChemDraw software is limited to current students, faculty, and staff at Stanford.

ChemDraw is available on the cluster computers located in libraries, dorms, and the academic virtual desktop.

We have a campus-wide site license 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) - note that not all features are available on iOS. Please check System Requirements and Technical Details for more information.  ChemDraw can be used for searching SciFinder and Reaxys.

Stanford's license agreement includes the PerkinElmer Signals Notebook Individual Edition, a cloud-based electronic notebook and the Mnova ChemDraw Edition (Note: this is a "lite" version of the software.  Stanford Libraries recommends using the licensed full version of Mnova).
