Licence agreement
Jade University of Applied Sciences participates in Microsoft Campus EES via the federal framework agreement 4.0.
Term:
The contract started on 01 May 2025 and has a term of five years until the end of April 2030.
Products:
Jade University of Applied Sciences has licensed the following product packages through the framework agreement:
- Microsoft 365 A3/A5 Education for Employees
- Microsoft 365 A3 Education Student Use Benefit
- Microsoft Project Professional for Employees
- Microsoft Visio Professional for Employees

License Types and Usage:
The Federal Framework Agreement differentiates in licensing between the user groups (employees 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:
Microsoft OnPremise licenses are used for devices that are “regularly” used by multiple users.
These are essentially all devices in pool and lecture rooms at Jade University, but also desktop PCs at office workstations that are integrated into Active Directory and use ZENworks software distribution there, as well as notebooks procured for official use. These products are licensed via central activation servers and do not require user-specific activation.
Students are also permitted 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, Microsoft 365 products can only be used with a valid university account. Licenses are automatically assigned according to personnel group.
NOTE:
Activation of Microsoft 365 software products via the eIdentity portal is no longer required
Use - Microsoft 365 products and documents on the web
To access Microsoft 365 products or your data stored in OneDrive on the web, you must log in to the Jade University Microsoft 365 tenant.

https://jadeconnect-my.sharepoint.com/
In the first step of the login process, enter your email address in the login screen.
(as a rule firstname.lastname@jade-hs.de or firstname.lastname@student.jade-hs.de)
In the second step of the login process, enter the password for your university login details and click Login.
Use - Devices in the PC network system with ZENworks software distribution

Notes:
- If the names of the software bundles do not correspond to the names above, you can load the current entries in the ZENworks software menu by pressing F5.
