Licenses for the CrashPlan backup service can be purchased for faculty and staff as a Unit purchase through WebStore. Licensing runs on a yearly basis, aligned with the University fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th) at a cost of $70.00 per user license. Licenses are pro-rated to $35.00 half-way through the year. A license allows one user to use the software on up to 5 devices with unlimited cloud storage. Once purchased you will have access to the CrashPlan client software and will need to download and install it on your devices.
As part of the purchase you will be asked to complete a form that provides user information.
The service uses the campus Active Directory for authentication, therefore requires a current valid UIUC NetID.
Multiple licenses can be purchased by a departmental IT Pro on behalf of their users by entering their NetIDs into the form.
If desired, licensed users can be placed into a department/college/organization that will allow a local IT Pro identified as a CrashPlan administrator to assist with configuration, backup and restore operations.
Please consult the other UIUC CrashPlan KB articles for additional information.
Note that CrashPlan is now a separate, independent product from what had been 'Code42'.
