Deprecated apps

Occasionally, CSC may need to deprecate certain pre-installed software or software versions. This may, for example, be due to discontinued licenses or incompatibility of non-actively maintained software with updating computing environments.

A list of deprecated software, the reasons behind the deprecation and recommended alternatives can be found below. If you have questions, please contact CSC Service Desk.

Bioconda

Bioconda is no longer available on Puhti. Native Conda installations sitting directly on the shared file system are ineffective and not recommended in HPC environments such as Puhti. Please use Tykky installations instead to wrap your Conda environment within a container. See a tutorial on this here. Note that some packages that were previously provided through Bioconda are now available as separate modules.

Discovery Studio

The national Discovery Studio license provided by CSC was discontinued in 2022. Since the beginning of 2023, it is no longer available. Please consider using Maestro instead. Contact CSC Service Desk if you need support in migrating your workflow.

Materials Studio

The national Materials Studio license provided by CSC was discontinued in 2022. Since the beginning of 2023, it is no longer available. Please consider using, e.g., Maestro or AMS instead. Contact CSC Service Desk if you need support in migrating your workflow.

NoMachine

The NoMachine remote desktop service was discontinued at CSC on 25th May 2023, at the end of the its licensing period.

The service is superseded by the web interfaces for Puhti, Mahti and LUMI.
