The faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Media have concluded an area licence »DreamSpark Premium«. DreamSpark Premium was renamed IMAGINE Premium.
The IMAGINE Premium licence is an offer from Microsoft for departments at universities that belong to the STEM fields (mathematics, computer science, business informatics, natural sciences & technology - especially engineering).
It provides teachers, students and administrators with access to Microsoft's latest developer and designer tools, servers and operating systems for research and teaching purposes.
In addition, the software products may be installed in labs or pools that focus on teaching STEM developers and designers. The labs or pools must be physically located on the campus for which the IMAGINE Premium subscription was provided.
Product list and further information
The standard Office products are explicitly not included. These can be requested for staff from the faculty officers. Students can purchase MS Office from specialist dealers.
Administrative tasks (e.g. in the secretariat) are expressly excluded from IMAGINE Premium. The employees concerned are then also not entitled to use the software privately.
You may not make the software or the product keys available to third parties.
The exact licence conditions, guidelines for the use of the program and examples of permissible and impermissible areas of use can be found in the following information from Microsoft. By downloading the software, the user undertakes to comply with these agreements. He is liable for misuse.
We expressly draw your attention to the fact that you must comply with the rules specified in the EULA for IMAGINE PREMIUM.
