For the use of various software in study, teaching and research, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Permanent Working Group on Software Thuringia (SAGS) have concluded and financed contracts for diverse software products. In the overview you will find which software offers are available to individual groups.
Important: The licence entitlements for the use of selected software products (e.g. use of Microsoft 365, Adobe Named User licences, etc.) may change if there are changes to the employment relationship.
For example: When an employee is registered as a lecturer or a staff member is registered as a student.
