Information

Because of a new certificate in eduroam, there currently are more problems with connections to the WiFi. A new clean installation (with a previous deletion of the eduroam-profile) fixes these issues.

Support for outdated operating systems (especially Windows 7 & Windows 8) is not provided.

Temporarily unavailable!

The TIK uses the AnyDesk software for telephone support cases. This allows our support team to look directly at your screen. The AnyDesk client provided by us can be executed directly after the download and does not need to be installed separately. This way you can show us your request on the screen and in return we can explain the solution steps directly.

Consultation sessions
