Overleaf: Automated Check of the Terms of Use
Overleaf has been technically adjusted. Compliance with the applicable terms of use is now filtered and checked automatically. As a result, an automated process replaces the previous manual filtering. This consequently supports a reliable, efficient, and consistent implementation of the intended framework conditions.
The automated verification process prevents individuals who do not have “Employee” status from accessing the system as soon as they log in.
Update for Efficient Elements
Microsoft has released an update for PowerPoint version 2606 (build 20131.20090). Unfortunately, this update can lead to an error in the “Element Wizard” of Efficient Elements. Therefore, we have already reacted. We have provided an updated version of Efficient Elements. The corresponding update is now available on our download server.
What to Do?
Please install the latest version of Efficient Elements from the download server. Please close all Microsoft Office applications before the installation. This applies in particular to PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. Afterwards, the Element Wizard should function as usual again.
If the problem persists, please contact the IT-ServiceDesk.
Please provide the following information in your message:
- Efficient Elements version used
- Microsoft 365 version or build number
- Windows version
- short description of the error or a screenshot of the error message
Procurement Process for SoSci Is Underway
We are currently in the process of procuring the online survey tool SoSci. This process will take a little more time, so we ask for your patience in the meantime. However, the new license will be available in time. You will be able to find it directly in the software store before the current license expires. We will, of course, keep you updated on the latest developments.
Procurement process for Siemens NX is underway
The procurement process for the Siemens NX software is currently underway. This process will take a little while longer. We therefore ask for your patience at this time. As soon as the process is complete, we will list the items with updated validity periods in the software store.
Microsoft Licenses Now in the Software Shop
As of now, there is an important update for IT purchasers. You can order items via the Microsoft Select Plus volume licensing agreement. This takes place conveniently in the asknet software shop. Specifically, these items are known as B-products.
Currently, the offer includes licenses without Software Assurance. Furthermore, you can purchase Software Assurance separately as maintenance. Do you want to order licenses that include Software Assurance instead? This is expected to be possible starting in late August. Therefore, we ask for a little patience.
Despite these updates, the existing framework conditions remain completely unchanged.
New Features in the asknet Software-Shop Interface
The interface of the Software Shop has been changed. All available items are now displayed directly on the start page. The previously necessary selection of a price group before ordering is therefore no longer required.
Price groups can still be conveniently selected using a filter on the left side. In addition, price groups with an Org-ID have been named according to their respective function to facilitate orientation.
If items from different price groups are ordered, the system automatically separates them in the shopping cart, for example for students, “IT-Bestellende” or in the future “B Produkt – MS Select Plus”.

Mathematica 15 Not Yet Approved
A few days ago, the new version Mathematica 15 was released. A new feature of this version is the free access to Wolfram AI for registered users.
However, since the servers of this AI service are not located in Europe and its use has not yet been approved by RWTH Aachen University, we are currently investigating how to deactivate the service.
Until this review is completed, we will neither provide Mathematica 15 on the license server nor approve license requests for this version.
Bis auf Weiteres sollte Mathematica 14.3.0 oder eine ältere Version verwendet werden.
