Success! See our DreamSpark page with registration instructions.
Why should CCB do this?
- Any graduate student can get any version of Windows ($40-200) on their personal laptops, for free. They don't have to delete the software when they leave, since license is "Perpetual Rights". But they must get the software before they leave!
- Research labs, like Freed's, get expensive (price?) programming software for free. Ex. Visual Studio Pro 2012, $500 list (no academic pricing?).
- One Note for both researchers and students.
- May promote use of Visio (drawing tools) and MS Project, especially if staff can use it.
- Provides ChemIT staff (CCB representatives) 4 Technical Support Incidents and Priority Support in MSDN (MS Developer Network) Forums.
