RU software licenties

RU software licences negotiated by ILS

ILS negotiated license agreements for the RU for a number of software packages. This makes that software relatively cheap (bulk license) or even free (campus license) for use by students and employees.

A lot of license software can be bought at Surfspot by employees and students by using their RU account and the corresponding RU-password. Some of this (primarily MS-Windows) software can be borrowed from C&CZ.

• Security: F-Secure

  • for Windows/macOS computers purchased with RU funds that are privately administered, please contact C&CZ.

• On a PC with MS-Windows (or a Linux “Samba client”), one can connect to the service \\install.science.ru.nl\install. If you need more info than is presented on the Science licenses pages, please contact C&CZ.
