I haven't checked with Leica but I find this hard to believe.
There's no way we could use any system that could not be networked
(since we run a central server for all digital images) and I
would reckon that the same would apply for more than 90% of all
facilities that would buy a high-end confocal. Maybe Leica can
reply to this?

We have an SP5 in our facility and the only thing we have been told by leica we can't do is connect it to a network, which is fine for us as the network here is notoriously unstable.
We run our own anti-virus software and defrag utilities on it, as well as a few admin apps to track data usage etc.
Cheers

I think there is some confusion here. I think you are talking about the low-cost SPE, which runs a really cut-down OS. I don't think any of this applies to the SP5.

We have been told by the Leica rep here that we may put no program on the SP5 computer -- not ImageJ, not Winzip, nothing. We were also told that the computer may not be connected to the network, except when they want to do service.
To more exact, we were told that if we want anything on the machine, we need to ask Leica to do it (and to pay for it to be done).
Is this how all the SP5 users out there are using their systems?
Aside from the obvious reasons that this policy bothers us, we have a problem because the IT people in the university will not permit a computer to be connected to the network unless they have installed their approved anti-virus program personally.
If the issue is delicate, perhaps you may prefer to reply off list.
