License servers
For several software packages there is a license server, that allows use of the software on all PCs while making sure that the total number of licenses in use does not exceed what has been bought. Most of these license servers use FlexNet by Flexera.
Science software licences negotiated by C&CZ
All info can be found on the Science licenses pages. Questions: please contact C&CZ.
Most software can be found on the install share. On a PC with MS-Windows (or a Linux “Samba client”), one can connect to the service:
\install.z.science.ru.nl\install
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.
- for 1 privately owned device one can get free of charge “F-Secure Safe (RU Nijmegen)” for 1 year at Surfspot, see the ILS protect your computer page.
