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:

This message concerns you if you use the Zoom service of the University of Ulm and your computer is NOT administered by kiz. If you are already using a client in the current version (e.g. >= 6.4.0) or no desktop client at all, or a computer administered by kiz (e.g. in the ZUV area), you can ignore the rest of this message.

Virtually all older Zoom desktop clients have several serious security issues. We will therefore on

Tuesday, 20.05.2025

administratively prevent the use of older versions. You will then need the following minimum client versions:

• Windows client Version ≥ 6.4.0
• Linux client Version ≥ 6.4.0
• macOS client Version ≥ 6.4.0
• iOS client Version ≥ 6.4.0
• Android client Version ≥ 6.4.0

How do I determine the version number of my Zoom desktop client?

• Start your Zoom desktop client.
• Click on your profile picture at the top right, then <help> / <About Zoom>
  (if you do not have a profile picture, you will probably see your initials there)

How do I perform the update?

• Start your Zoom desktop client.
• Click on your profile picture at the top right, then <check for updates>
  (if you do not have a profile picture, you will probably see your initials there)

If the menu item <check for updates> does not appear for you, then you have a really old version and please download the latest version of the "Zoom Client for Meetings" from uni-ulm.zoom.us/download.

If you manage your computer yourself, you can configure your Zoom Client for automatic updates: blog.zoom.us/get-automatic-updates-in-the-zoom-client/

What does this mean for you?

When dialing, e.g. a mobile or landline number on the Alcatel telephone, you must actively inform the PBX system of the end of the dialed number in future. You can do this in 3 ways:

1. At the end of the call number, dial a # character (e.g. 001622523701#)
2. At the end of the call number, confirm with the "Send" button shown on the display.
3. At the end of the call number, wait for the timeout of the telecommunications system. After 5 seconds, the system dials the digits entered up to that point.

TCP ports 49664 and 49670 are also blocked.

31.01.2025

In the course of a recent vulnerability scan, a very large number of systems with globally accessible MS-RPC services were identified in the university's network. As part of a subsequent risk assessment, it was decided to implement the following provisional block on the university's firewall with immediate effect: MS-RPC Service TCP Port 49665-49669 incoming

The kiz is already working on instructions for the secure configuration of this service and will publish them soon. A decision on a possible lifting of this block will be made
later on.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
