Latest News about MSDNAA
from its Administrator: Dave Brown
The EIE school has a licence to distribute Microsoft software to students under an arrangement called "MSDN Academic Alliance". Details for the scheme are at www.msdnaa.org
The basic rules are that you can obtain Microsoft software from the ITU office and install it on your own PC at home. The software does not expire. You should not copy the software discs, or lend them to anyone else. You cannot use the software for commercial activities.
Microsoft office is NOT part of the agreement. The most popular software is WindowsXP, Windows Vista, MS-Project, MS-Visio, VisualStudio.NET. These are available on DVDs, which you can collect from our office and keep.
A register has to be maintained of who installed the software. This is done via a third party website called "e-academy".
You log on to the website and register to get the discs from the ITU office in the link building. Some software (such as WindowsXP) requires an install code, which will be generated for you by the e-academy server.
There is much software like Exchange_Server which is not listed on the e-academy system at the moment - you can email and ask me for a copy if you want those. It's also possible to request an additional licence
key for WindowsXP for your laptop.
Shortly I will upload a list of "MyUni" email addresses to the e-academy website (no other details get uploaded), then you will get an email with a random password to use to access the website. Your
email address is to be uploaded either because you weren't registered before, or I managed to expire your previous login on the site.
We're currently coordinating a new approach to this licence in collaboration with the School of Information Technologies (SIT also has a licence for the MSDNAA software).
The DVDs for 2007 are being finalised and should be ready by the end of next week.(19 May 2007)
