Ulm University joined the new federal framework agreement for educational institutions (also known as the university framework agreement) with Microsoft on 1 May 2025. The contract runs until 30 April 2030.

As part of the contract, the activation of the following software must be adapted on all clients:

• Windows 10 / 11
• Microsoft Office 2016 / 2019 / 2021 and 2024

Older versions are no longer supported and therefore cannot be reactivated with immediate effect.

The changeover should take place by 8 June 2025 (week 23), after which the previous KMS activation server will no longer be accessible. Existing activations are valid for a total of 180 days, thus ensuring a corresponding transition period.

How do I switch the activation?

• Log in to the software portal
• Go to the respective page "Betriebssystem - Microsoft Windows" or "Office - Microsoft Office".
• There you will find instructions and the new activation script (german)

Further information on the new federal framework agreement can be found on the following page:
