Software
I need specific software for my studies or exercises, to what should I pay special regard to?
- If it is free software, normally there are no problems.
- If it is commercial software, the financing has to be clarified before.
- In general we won't distribute any software, if we think it can lead to greater problems with the rest of the systems.
- Please send software requests to the following email address: problems@cip.cs.fau.de and pay attention to the upper points!
There has been this software last semester, but now i can't find it. What happened?
Not all licenses for software are renewed automatically each semester. If there are apparently no requests for a specified software, it will not be renewed anymore. If you want to make sure, that a specific software is available next semester, you can write us an email to following address: problems@cip.cs.fau.de
