Software at special conditions
Portal page of the country at ASKNET (Microsoft / Adobe)
The university is a contractual partner of Microsoft Student Select and Adobe Student Licensing (ASL). This allows students to purchase software licenses at better conditions.
These licenses and other products from other manufacturers can be found on the Asknet page for Rhineland-Palatinate.
https://rheinland-pfalz.asknet.de/cgi-bin/home
The prices here are generally still somewhat lower than in the official web store of the provider asknet where these products are only offered as "school licenses".
The processing is not done by the computer center, but the supply as well as the invoicing to the students is completely done by asknet AG. Please note: Due to the license form, these products are bound to the person and may not be resold!
Security for home
Sophos Home
The company Sophos, from which the university obtains its virus scanner, offers its "Home" product free of charge for private users.
The condition for use is that this product is not used commercially.
This software is a full-fledged product and not just a cut-down version of a purchased version. In the "Free" version, up to 3 devices (Windows and Mac OS) can be centrally managed via a web console.
Since the beginning of February 2018, Sophos has been offering a premium version of the virus scanner, however, for a fee, which expands the product's range of functions and allows installation on 10 end devices.
To use it, you have to register with your mail address at the following link and you're ready to go.
https://home.sophos.com/de-de/
The installation of the virus scanner can be done directly via download from the logged in Sophos administration window. Alternatively, you can create a download link for the installation data, which you can also send.
The devices installed under this link will then appear in the management console of the logged-in user.
