Rational's Purify software?

In my research, I'm taking over an application and would like to test it for memory leaks, invalid memory accesses, and such. It has been suggested to me that I try Purify, by Rational (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/purifyplus/). Before diving into trial versions and purchases and such, I'd like to see if we already have a site license for Purify (or something similar that will do a memory profile of a C application). So the question to you is: do we?

It is our understanding that the Parasoft Insure++ product has similar functionality.  We have a license for that. It is installed in /cs/parasoft/insure++.
  
To use it,
  
 set path=(/cs/parasoft/insure++/bin.linux2  $path)
 insure --             # will give a usage message.
  
A README file and examples subdirectory in that
directory contain additional information.
