Microsoft Imagine Premium

What is the Microsoft Imagine Premium Online License?

he Microsoft Imagine Premium Online License is an academic program, that Microsoft offers only to schools and universities, whose focus is on the field of software development.

This licensing program allows the usage of the offered software on almost any lab system of the participating faculty. In addition to that, the software may be used by any member of those faculties, like staff, teachers or students on their personal computers at home, as long as the software is used in purpose of research or teaching. For further information on how the software may be used by whom, please have a look at section 1b of the official Imagine Premium EULA.

The “Institute für Informatik” has an Imagine Premium subscription and offers its usage to any staff member of the institute and any student enlisted in the subject of computer science, regardless if computer science is the major or minor subject.

This program aims at two goals:

  • Gaining knowledge in working with Microsoft products, that are used in software development - for example development tools, operating systems and server applications.
  • Granting every student access to Microsoft technologies, especially to those who could not afford it by other means.

Please notice: License terms allow the usage of the Imagine Premium products only for teaching, studying or researching purpose. Any usage in any other kind is excluded. This comprises any form of sublicensing, especially selling, letting, leasing or lending. The usage of server products is permitted in labs only and therefore is limited by the license terms.
