News:

01.04.2024: Windows 10 Education will no longer be provided

Message from DrVis: ‘For many years, we have been able to provide students from educational institutions with campus contracts with Windows 10 free of charge (via the Canadian company Kivuto) in addition to the Office package. Unfortunately, Kivuto was banned from providing Microsoft licences as of 01.04.24, which means that we can no longer offer Windows product keys. Unfortunately, there will be no alternative, but the demand is also very limited [...].’

Who can acquire Microsoft Office 365?

All enrolled students at the University of Freiburg who have a valid university account are eligible.

How can I acquire the Microsoft 365 apps?

If you are interested, go to www.bildung365.de and select the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg as your institution. You will then be redirected to the myLogin page to authenticate yourself with your university account and your central password.

You will then be redirected to the Bildung 365 portal, where you can purchase the Microsoft Office package.

Bildung 365 will now guide you step by step through the licensing process and create an account with Microsoft Online Services for you. To do this, select a user ID and a password: Only this data is transferred to Microsoft Online Services and an account is created (@bwedu.de).

How can I extend my subscription?

You can extend your subscription via the bildung365.de portal. You may need your PIN for OneDrive (if you have used OneDrive).

Who do I contact if I have any questions?

The data center does not offer support for the products. However, you can receive technical support from DrVis from Mon-Sun from 9 am to 10 pm by sending an e-mail to officesupport@drvis.de or by using the contact form on bildung365.de. You can also find help in the provider's FAQs.

Due to frequent requests because of problems with activation, here are a few steps that might help you find a solution:

The license for Office 365 must be revalidated once a year. Please try to log in to the bildung365.de portal with your Uniaccount.

Check here whether the term of your subscription is still running and extend it if it has already expired.

Then try to log in with the bwedu.de account (Important! This is your Microsoft account.).

If the login works here, you should be able to activate Word, etc. with the bwedu.de account again. If you have forgotten your password, you can change it at bildung365.de.
