Free-to-use licences: the support you’ve been waiting for
Autodesk offers its phenomenal range of design and modelling tools free to users in education, but the verification and installation steps for not only Autodesk titles, but many other free-to-use software titles, can prove challenging. Academic Software can solve this – supporting the verification and installation of free-to-use software for your users.
Academic Software guarantees that a legitimate user will get verified, and be able to get the free-to-use software they want up and running on their own device, without needing help from institutional IT staff.
Free-to-use should mean free from hassle – Academic Software helps ensure you get the most out of educational access and free-to-use software. Want to know more? Get in touch!

Cybersecurity in universities: Digital Education Decoded Podcast
In the most recent episode of Digital Education Decoded, a roundtable of university ICT leaders discussed current concerns around cybersecurity. Universities are having to adjust their traditionally trusting and open approach to information in the face of a cybersecurity war. They also face challenges that are unique to the sector, such as thousands of unmanaged devices, and an ethos of openness that makes it difficult to place restrictions on the ability of university members to research freely.
