Licenses

Chargeable licenses of software solutions that are provided centrally by IT throughout DESY are procured by IT via DESY purchasing (V4). The procurement of decentrally used licenses subject to charges is the responsibility of the respective groups and is carried out via ebiss (V4).

In addition, there are of course a multitude of possibilities to download and use further required software via Internet - however, the following must be considered:

  • The EDV-conditions of use- apply, e.g. illegal and/or cracked software or keys circulating on the Internet are not allowed to be used!
  • The respective license conditions of the downloaded software are to be considered!

  • Docker Desktop
