ChemIT has signed up for a Microsoft DreamSpark subscription on behalf of CCB educators, researchers, and grad students. For example, our graduate students can now get any version of Windows ($40-200) on their personal laptops, for free.
Benefits of the Microsoft DreamSpark Premium subscription to CCB
- 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 lab researchers get access to expensive Microsoft programming software for free.
- Ex. Visual Studio Pro 2012, $500 list (no academic pricing available).
- One Note is made available for researchers, educators, and grad students.
