A booking system is in place for access to floating licenses for BDSG-managed commercial software packages.  Please use this system to book usage for these licenses. 

To ensure fair access to the licenses, bookings are permitted up to a maximum of 3 hours between 0900 and 1800 on any particular day.

Note that use of the licenses outside booked periods may result in the license being revoked to enable a user with a valid booking to access the system.
