License Types and Usage:
The Federal Framework Agreement differentiates in licensing between the user groups (staff or students) and the place of use (official university devices or private end devices).
This results in the following usage scenarios:
- Use on shared devices:
For devices that are “regularly” used by several users, the Microsoft OnPremise licences are used.
These are essentially all devices in pool and lecture rooms at Jade University, but also the desktop PC devices at office workstations that are integrated into the Active Directory and use the ZENworks software distribution there and service-procured notebooks. The licensing of these products is carried out via central activation servers and does not require user-specific activation.
Students are also allowed to use Microsoft OnPremise products on these devices at Jade University.
These include, among others:
- Microsoft Windows Enterprise Operating System Upgrade
- Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus
(Access, Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher) - Microsoft Project LTSC Professional
- Microsoft Visio LTSC Professional
- Use on personal or private devices:
Members of the university can use the above-mentioned Microsoft 365 products on personal or private devices.
Only user-based licensing is used for these products. Therefore, the use of Microsoft 365 products is only possible with a valid university account and must be registered in the eIdentity Portal and need to be personally activated.
HINT:
This licence does not include any
Microsoft 365 Office Desktop programmes for students!
