DreamSpark - Microsoft software for students and educators (former MSDNAA)

The Faculty of Engineering has a subscription to Microsoft DreamSpark Premium. Using the web-based software distribution system called ELMS (e-Academy License Management System), students and educators of the faculty are able to access the software contained in DreamSpark. Some points to know:

• Software to download: Windows Operating Systems (i.e. 8, 7, XP, embedded, Server) and Microsoft Developing Tools (i.e. Visual C++, Visio, Project or Visual Studio)
• Microsoft Office is not part of the DreamSpark-Program! (Tip: Use OpenOffice instead)
• The software can be downloaded free of charge (in fact, the Faculty pays an annual fee, but the user downloads are for free).

How to get an Account to the Webstore:

• Students (alternatively, you can borrow the software. Read here, too)
• Academic Members of the Faculty engaged in education with Microsoft Software
