ExExamples:

Q: Can professional support staff for departmental labs check out software?

A: Yes. Any professional support staff whose primary responsibility is to maintain departmental labs are eligible to install DreamSpark software onto their personal computers for non-commercial use. The license amendment defines "Staff" as "any personnel duly engaged by the qualified educational user to teach or instruct students and/or to conduct non-commercial research or other development-related activities on behalf of the qualified educational user."

Q: If students get software through the DreamSpark program, do they have unlimited usage of the software?

A:Students may enjoy unlimited usage of software for the purpose of furthering their learning and research efforts. The software is not to be used to run a business or for ventures that drive commercial profit. However, DreamSpark has partnered with the Microsoft App Store teams to enable students to create games and applications with the Windows Phone, and Windows 8 Developer kits. This is the one exception where a student is allowed to use the software available on DreamSpark for a money-making enterprise. To learn more, visit the Windows Phone App Development, the Windows 8 App Development and the Xbox Indie Games Development pages accessible from the App Development menu on the navigation bar of the Student Overview page.
