Windows software for employees and students of the Faculty of Science

To install on your own Windows PC

  • Install-share: a network drive with installable software.

  • The ILS has a page on software and maintains a list of RU licensed software.

  • Surfspot.nl: All kinds of licensed software (which can also be used at home) can be bought at Surfspot when one logs in with employee/student number and RU-wachtwoord. Departments can order these software packages via the Purchase Department. The ILS coordinates most RU-wide software licenses, mainly through SURFdiensten.

    • The upgrade of Windows 10 to the Educational version with e.g. BitLocker encryption is recommended.
  • The ChemDraw Prime / ChemBioOffice software must be installed directly from the site of the supplier.

  • C&CZ lends (to students and staff of the Faculty of Science) DVD/CDs of Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux or Apple MacOS software with a RU or FNWI license agreement.

  • Software for the RU Concern systems (BASS-Finlog, HRM, …).

Software available on C&CZ managed Windows-computers

It is not possible to state exactly what software is installed on a C&CZ managed Windows-computer. This greatly depends on the purpose of the PC or the department that owns the PC. Licensed software for which no campus license exists, is often distributed to only a small number of PCs.

On the Windows PC’s in the computer labs a T-disk with course software is attached from the network.
