ASKnet - Freiburg University's online software shop

The ASKnet online shop is where all Freiburg University members can order research and teaching software at reduced prices, request updates to current licenses or upload software onto your personal computer. You can also browse the available software without logging in to the website.

The following entities have the right to buy software through ASKnet:

  • Freiburg University Institutes: The initial registration requires a hard copy with a signature. It is possible for numerous members of the same institute to register under that institute. It is up to the institute to decide who receives the rights to the software.
  • Frieburg Universtiy Students: You must newly register each semester with a valid copy of your semester registration certificate (Semesterbescheinigung)
  • Some products are also available for facilities in other Universities. You can find more information regarding the availability of individual products in the online shop.

Clinic facilities can only order software through the clinic's central IT Service Center.

Once your order has been made, you will receive the bill from ASKnet, not the University IT Services.
