An assigned license (device-bound or personal) can only be reassigned after 90 days of inactivity, unless in the case of a device-bound license the device is defective, is written off or is permanently out of service.

"Qualified users of research and teaching" (EQU) are employees or contractual partners (not students) who access or use an educational platform product for the benefit of RPTU.

Microsoft 365 A3 is a so-called education platform. The software products/applications included are therefore called "education platform products".

The main user is anyone who uses a licensed device more than 50% of the time over a period of 90 days.

A privately owned device.

A privately owned device can only be considered a business device if the device is confirmed in writing to be at RPTU's disposal.

A single, physical hardware system that is intended for use by the customer and to which a license has been assigned.

A single server to which a license is assigned.

The M 365 licenses are accessed via a pseudonymized connection to Microsoft (Azure tenant).

You can activate your license via the service portal. You will receive an M 365 account(be sure to make a secure note of your user name and password!), which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your RPTU account.

Device that:

  • is not used by any one individual more than 50 percent of the time in a single workday,
  • hasnot been assigned to aprimary user as the primary work device, and
  • is not assigned to a library or pool room/laboratory (as a public device).

Characteristics:

  • As a rule, individual users use the same device repeatedly.

Examples:

  • Information terminals (vending machines, display boards), lending devices
  • Non-public work computers without a main user that are used by several colleagues

Freely accessible room with more than 1 computer in use that is open to authorized users.

The door can be physically open or locked (users have a key).

User authorization can also be a notice or sign or a user regulation.

Characteristics:

  • Users sometimes use this device, sometimes that device=> No main user reference.
  • The group of authorized users changes over time.
  • The group of authorized users is defined or limited.
    • Users are authorized e.g. via participation in a training course.
    • Users have received authorization in the form of a key for the door.
    • Users are authorized to use the measuring instruments / measuring computers in the laboratory.

As a rule, training rooms fall into this area.

Like the pool room, but with the difference that it is open to the public.

City visitors can also use the equipment in the room without special authorization.

All lecturers, companies with which RPTU has contracts, and research partners (including from industry) who use an educational platform product from us or have an account for this purpose in our AD.

RPTU has the right to control the company (holds over 50 % of the shares)

Other participants in the Campus and School Agreement (CASA).

All EQUs (employees at RPTU and contractual partners)

All students and all non-EQUs (guests and others)
