Software

Students and staff at Kempten University of Applied Sciences can download the latest Microsoft Office package free of charge via the StudiSoft portal.

Please note:

• This installs an online version, i.e. you cannot download an installation package that you could burn onto a CD/DVD, for example.
• Run the online installation on the device that you actually want to use Microsoft Office on (Office for Mac: register on the portal in Safari install from there).
• Supported operating systems: Apple OS X, Microsoft Windows 7 or newer (Please note: Windows XP/Vista are incompatible! Microsoft support for Windows XP ceased on 8 April 2014. If you are using these systems, we urgently recommend you update your operating system.)

Please note! Support for Sophos ended on 20 July 2023. Please uninstall Sophos and use an alternative instead (e.g. Windows Defender).

For further information, please see the Library homepage.

A limited number of licences for IBM’s SPSS Statistics software are available for students at Kempten University of Applied Sciences.

Please contact the Computing Centre if you require one.

Announcement: Microsoft Imagine currently (as of 14 Feb. 2019) cannot be accessed via StudiSoft. The issue is currently being investigated.

In mid-February 2019, Microsoft finally implemented the long-announced retitling from “Imagine” to “Azure Dev Tools for Teaching”. Microsoft is no longer collaborating on this with Kivuto, but using its own infrastructure. However, the new portal does not function yet. Microsoft is aware of the problems! The new terms of use also still need scrutinising.

think-cell is a PowerPoint add-in for creating and preparing professional business diagrams and charts such as Waterfall, Mekko and Gantt or agendas.
