      I’m not sure how many students are aware of this:

      DreamSpark is simple, it’s all about giving students Microsoft professional-level developer and design tools at no charge so you can chase your dreams and create the next big breakthrough in technology – or just get a head start on your career. Have Questions?[/quote:cd4230a013]

      It was released a long time ago, but I recently found out that most of the students I know were not aware of it.

      Hi Guys, I think that the reason that this was not publicized more was that you need a ISIC to access the downloads? You are suppose to be able to use a valid Irish student email as a verification method. Is it working now? If not I am sure that it will be soon. Also is there anyone that actually has those ISIC cards? I think that since the travel card for Irish rail and buses was introduced the international student card does not seem to be that popular.

      Select your college, provide your college email address and it will send you the details. I know it works for Athlone IT, so I would imagine it works for all the others.

      I don’t know how many people this will apply to, but there is a related scheme called BizSpark (http://www.microsoft.com/BizSpark/) for companies that are less than 3 years old (and have a turnover <$1m/year).

      We signed up this week, and got Windows, Office, VS Team System, MSDN subscription (along with lots of software that we didn’t really need – Exchange, SQL server, CRM software, etc – basically, every product they do) for 3 years for $100 (which we pay in 3 years), and it covers everyone in the company.

      You need a network partner to give you a code to sign up, so anyone that’s interested should drop me a PM.
