MSDN Academic Alliance
What is the MSDN Academic Alliance?
The MSDN Academic Alliance is an annual membership program for technical
departments in the area of Computer Science, Engineering, and Information
Systems. As a member, a department receives an MSDNAA subscription that
Microsoft platform, servers, and developer tools software. This software may be
installed on any number of departmental lab machines. The software must be used
for instructional and research purposes, it may not be used to run the
infrastructure of the department. In addition, the departments faculty and
students may check-out or download the software to install on their personal
computers.
The program has two primary goals: 1) to make it easier and less expensive for
you to obtain Microsoft developer tools, platforms, and servers for
instructional and research purposes and 2) to build a community of instructors
who can share curriculum and other learning resources to support the use of
these technologies.
