Softwareshop at KIT SCC (EOL June 30, 2026)

To distribute software to employees and students of KIT, a central software shop has been provided. The service is operated by an external provider (asknet, now part of Academic Software) on behalf of SCC.

Via this online service, users can obtain software from campus and state licenses as well as additional software packages using their KIT user credentials.

Important notice: Service discontinuation

The software shop service will be discontinued on June 30, 2026 (End of Life).

  • After this date, no further orders can be placed via the software shop.
  • There will be no transition to the vendor’s successor platform (Academic Software).
  • Instead, SCC will provide individual solutions for software distribution and licensing on a per-product basis.
  • Licenses already obtained remain valid within the terms of the respective license agreements.

Limited operation (phase-out)

The software shop is already in a phase-out stage.
Some software packages have already been removed and are no longer available via the shop.
For products that are still available, the software shop can continue to be used:

  • Registration with KIT user ID and password
  • Access to currently available software products

Software no longer offered in the shop is already being provided or distributed individually via the respective product web pages.

Students may continue to order a maximum of two licenses per year for campus and state licenses offered free of charge.

Access to the software shop

The software shop is available at: https://kitscc.asknet.de/.
Login is only possible with a valid KIT account for employees and students.
