# Are you running an ACCESS-NRI supported model?

🌏 **Are you running any of these ACCESS-NRI supported models: ACCESS-AM, ACCESS-CM, ACCESS-ESM, ACCESS-rAM, or ACCESS-rCM?** 🌏 [🔗 **UKMO EULA signing page**](https://reporting.access-nri-store.cloud.edu.au/partner_orgs/agreements/individual/ukmo/)

If so, you will need to hold a valid MOSRS account and [agree to the Terms of Use for the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) with the UK Met Office (UKMO)](https://reporting.access-nri-store.cloud.edu.au/partner_orgs/agreements/individual/ukmo/) that allows ACCESS-NRI to distribute proprietary UKMO software to Australian research institutions.

ACCESS-NRI partner universities **ANU, UNSW, UTas** (including **AAD** ), **Monash Uni** and **UniMelb** have recently signed an updated agreement outlining the conditions in this new EULA. Individuals affiliated with these partner universities are now being asked to read and accept the Terms of Use for the Agreement so they can continue accessing UKMO software and documentation. If this applies to you, please complete the UKMO Licensing process by following the steps on the [UKMO EULA signing page](https://reporting.access-nri-store.cloud.edu.au/partner_orgs/agreements/individual/ukmo/). For verification purposes, **you must have** [**AAF Authentication** on your ACCESS-Hive Forum account](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/adding-aaf-authentication/4166).

Please complete this by **8 May 2026** so that you can continue to use and access UKMO software and licensed material.

For more information and FAQs, see the post [Accessing UKMO licensed models](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/accessing-ukmo-licensed-models/6168) on the ACCESS-Hive Forum. If you encounter any problems, please [send a message to the UKMO\_Admin group](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/new-message?username=UKMO_Admin) on the ACCESS-Hive Forum.
