Software licensing gurus,
If anyone is using Microsoft's "DreamSpark Premium" subscription service, please contact me off-list <oh10@cornell.edu> so I might learn more. Thanks!
Here's some info I found about this subscription:
https://www.dreamspark.com/institution/subscription.aspx
I want understand what it might mean administratively for our department (Chemistry) to "sponsor" this subscription. And I want to make sure I understand the full "deal", including section 4, "USE RIGHTS" in the EULA:
https://www.dreamspark.com/licensing/basic-EULA.aspx
It seems that the service is a "Shibboleth Federated Partner", which makes me hopeful it represents low admin overhead:

Shibboleth Service Provider URLs
But I see no mention of this option at CIT's software documentation pages, such as:

Services > Software Licensing > About > Other Software Sources
Thanks for any real-work experience and info you can share with me!
