Hopefully CU Software Licensing Support will make the information below available centrally, provide more elegant access to the Cornell-only promo codes (linked below), and correct any of my errors. :-) In the meantime, I hope the information I collected below helps others at Cornell save time and money.

• You will need a Microsoft account to register. You will also need to use this account to manage your DreamSpark Premium subscription on-line.
  
  • To preserve your unit's access to your subscription, you will want to create one for your group instead of using someone's personal Microsoft account.
• You will want to create a Cornell department email address (or use an existing one), instead of using someone's Cornell NetID-based email address. (This is called an Exchange Group Account, which is a type of "resource account" in Cornell's Microsoft Exchange system.) This email is where you will receive communications regarding this subscription, including requests from non-registered students.
  
  • For example, <deptdreamspark@cornell.edu>
