The University will no longer provide centrally funded licenses for Overleaf Server Pro in the future. The current licenses for Overleaf Server Pro expire on 19.05.2025. After this date, you will have two options for continuing to work with Overleaf:
- You can continue to use the extended Community Edition on local University servers. In the week from 12.05. to 16.05. 2025, we will convert the existing installation at latex.zdv.uni-mainz.de to the Extended Community Edition. You can then continue working as usual.
- You can use Overleaf Professional in the cloud. There are three different license models for this. In addition to a free version, there are also two paid licenses: https://jgu.to/yqbr
Please check which license is right for you. The ZDV will take care of the paid licenses and charge the costs directly to your cost center. You can take advantage of this offer immediately.
