Offers

Account for the use of the services
To use the computers in the pool and "Remote Desktop", you must create an account for the computer lab. For technical reasons we can NOT use the central account of the BTU.
Registration and use is only possible from the campus network (usually Eduroam) or via the VPN. To set up the VPN, see https://www.b-tu.de/it-services/zugangsdienste/vpn-dienst/konfiguration-vpn-client
To create an account for the computer lab, read the instructions for creating an account or use the link in the right-hand column to register.
The computers are also accessable via the browser https://gw1.bauwesen.tu-cottbus.de (link only works in the compus network or with VPN). However, we recommend to use the native clients (see right-hand column for pre-configured RDP-Files). Documentation is available here RemoteDesktop
Notes on the installed software
The virtual pool (see Remote Desktop) provides so-called collections for various purposes. Each collection has different software installed:
Notes on the use of licences for Rhino 7 and 8
You can use the licences from our licence server on your own devices. The licence server has the address 141.43.118.72 (access only within the campus network/VPN). The number of licences is limited by simultaneous use. We cannot guarantee that a licence will always be available. Alternatively, Rhino is available via Remote Desktop
Notes on the use of licences for ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop
You need an account with ESRI to use the licences. The campus licence is managed by Mr Kursawe from the Chair of Building Informatics, Geodesy and GIS. Please write him an email with your valid BTU email so that he can assign you to the campus licence.
