EAS Software (once EAS Computertechnik and EAS-Hard- u. Software) was a German computer company.
The shareholders were Hans Dieter Hoose (buyer and contact for Canada), Karl Heinz Hoose, Dirk Quabs (managers and sellers), and Olaf Schneider (first full-time programmer). The partnership employed freelancers and focused on Amiga games, but also released software for Atari ST, Commodore 64, and announced Ringside (DOS).
Karsten Obarski scored Rallye Master (AMI) and sold EAS his copyright on The Ultimate Soundtracker for "a few bucks". Swedish programmers Pex Tufvesson and Anders Berkeman offered EAS their update, Noisetracker 2.0, but EAS closed before the Swedes felt finished.

Audio Personnel
- Karsten Obarski (1987–1988)
- Oliver Klaewer (1988–1989)
An 1998 article claims that Obarski was employed full-time; however, the writer has since verbosely confessed to premature assumptions. In fact, before and after his EAS work, Obarski was affiliated with reLINE Software (as was Klaewer). reLINE, Obarski and Klaewer all resided in Hanover, Lower Saxony, over 200 km away from EAS.
