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.

Hi,

I am the Dreamspark administrator at the Hotel School.  We use Dreamspark for our Lab computers to have Project and Visio.  We also use it to give certain Faculty who want it access to Project, Visio, and Visual Studio that are not covered under the campus agreement.  In addition, for one class we give students access to it so they can have Windows licenses.
