Software licenses
Service description
ZIM offers numerous software products under campus, NRW or national licence agreements for university use - in many cases even free of charge.
The service is available to HHU members or HHU institutions.
Depending on the software product, different conditions apply, which you can find in the ZIM software wiki under the respective product.
For many software products, non-commercial use by HHU institutions or members of HHU is possible free of charge. Some products may also be passed on to students and staff for use on private devices. Information on the terms of use can be found under the respective software product in the ZIM Wiki.
Important!
In accordance with legal requirements, HHU institutions and users are obliged to provide evidence of the use of the software in accordance with the respective manufacturer's licence conditions (End User License Agreement - EULA) and, if necessary, to be able to present this evidence (proof of compliance). By purchasing the software products, you agree to the General Licence Terms and the licence terms of the respective software.
