Re: you must credit it as an author

I think I would disagree with "as an author", but it would be entirely reasonable to credit it in the Acknowledgments. In any case, giving credit to machines and software is hardly unusual in academic work (e.g. "We took the measurements with a Oscillo 9000x spectrometer and processed and analyzed the the data with the SoxLab PI software package.")
