This license also includes a 14-day borrow function and is made available for download by the RHRZ. The download portal also contains a link to offers from Altair Academic Partners, whose software can then also be used at no additional cost. More detailed information on this version can be found in the following chapters.

• After registering with Altair, students can also download a free node-restricted single-user license for their personal devices that is limited to Altair interfaces. Please also note the corresponding license conditions here.

• Furthermore, lecturers can also obtain a free single-user lecturer license for their personal devices from Altair. In this case, please contact our Altair contact person directly.

1. All members (students, employees) of RPTU and organizations belonging to TU (e.g. "affiliated institutes").
2. Other groups of persons and institutions may not use the software provided by us for licensing reasons.
   In this case, please contact your software supplier directly.

Everyone who uses the software provided by us is personally responsible for ensuring that the software is only used in accordance with the scope specified in the license conditions. Please read these carefully.

1. The RHRZ provides this software as a network license on our powerful RHRZ servers "elwe(1, 2 or 3).rhrk.uni-kl.de".
   Due to the computing power of our RHRZ servers, this is the type of use we recommend.
2. We also offer the option of local installation.
   For local installation, the download is available in the service portal.
   There you will also find all the necessary information on licensing.
   After installing the software, your computer must be enabled for access through the firewall.

The use of this software is subject to a fee.
We only pass on the actual license costs to all users and try to allocate them fairly and equitably to all users.
The amount of these costs depends on your actual usage time and is determined by us once a year and subsequently invoiced to the organizational unit (e.g. working group, teaching area, department...) that has given us approval for your use.

Prerequisites

1. All students at RPTU may use HyperWorks
2. Employees at RPTU and organizations belonging to RPTU only need the approval of the cost centre manager of your organizational unit.

As soon as the above requirements have been met and you have received authorization to use this software, please contact us via our ticket system. You will then receive confirmation of receipt and a message when the software is available to you.
