The Norris Medical Library has licensed the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) for the free use of USC faculty, students and staff. This license currently consists of three concurrent user seats.  All users must comply with the following procedures and rules to ensure proper and fair access to this software:

4. A forced log out following 15-min of inactivity is implemented with an advanced 3-min warning.
5. If you exceed any session duration limits, your session will be subjected to forced termination at our discretion without any advanced notice.  USC Libraries Bioinformatics Service is not, nor Ingenuity Systems, responsible for any loss of analysis result due to a forced logout.
6. Do not exceed the maximum limit of session duration as defined below.

• Any session that exceeds the duration limit will be subjected to a forced termination without advanced notice.
