MS Imagine is replaced by MS Azure Dev Tools for Teaching on the 11th of February 2019. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not been able to provide us with any information on how to register for the new service. Therefore, we can neither implement nor test the connection of the university accounts to the new service "Azure Dev Tools" in time. At the same time, data protection issues arise, as anonymous registration (as before) will probably no longer be possible. Access to MS Imagine will therefore end on the 10th of February. As soon as we have further information, we will make it available here. Until then, we ask for your understanding.
