Radboud applications via Company Portal now also available for users who manage their own iMac or MacBook

Employees who use a Radboud University–issued iMac or MacBook and manage the device themselves can now install additional Radboud applications through the Company Portal (similar to the Software Center on managed Windows workstations). This includes applications such as SPSS, Adobe Creative Cloud, and EndNote.

This option already existed for users of macOS devices managed by ILS, and it has now been extended to self‑managed MacBooks and iMacs. A requirement is that the device was issued by ILS and has a PC label (a sticker with a C-number on the bottom of the device). Private devices are not eligible for this.

New procedure: install applications via the Company Portal

You can install the Company Portal yourself, after which you can easily and safely download and install additional Radboud applications. This means you no longer need to visit the ICT Service Desk on campus to have supplementary applications installed.

The applications you install through the Company Portal are kept up to date by ILS. This ensures you always have a secure and stable version. You retain full control over your device; ILS only manages the installed applications.

Due to this new process, it is no longer possible for macOS users to have additional applications installed via the ICT Helpdesk or at the ICT Service Desk.

How do I get access to the Company Portal?

Would you like to use this new option? Submit a request via this form (eduVPN required). The appropriate permissions will then be assigned to your Radboud account, after which you can follow the instructions in this manual (eduVPN required).
