We have a 10,000-seat license for the entire campus. Solidworks is Windows-only so you will need a Windows virtual machine for Macs.
The department maintains a site-license for LABVIEW, which is available to research groups who have paid a $480 recharge.
The Astronomy department has a volume license for Supermongo.
We do not have a volume license for MATLAB at this time. However you can access this software via http://www.library.ucla.edu/clicc/software as long as you're connected wirelessly to Eduroam and can login using your standard UCLA logon ID. You'll also likely want to use Firefox with pop-up blocker turned off; the Software Shortcut option doesn't work with Chrome, and Safari is problematical.
AutoDesk licensing is handled on an individual/group level. There is no Department-wide initiative. Campus has an agreement in place and you can get more info (& purchase) via UCLA Software Central:

The UCLA Library hosts an applications portal through which Bruin Online credentialed users can access using a web browser.
