Dreamspark
Microsoft DreamSpark enables students to download Microsoft developer and design tools at no charge.
Now, for the first time, Microsoft is giving its valuable software developer and design tools directly to students worldwide at no charge! This site enables students, like you, to download professional-level Microsoft developer tools to advance your learning and skills through technical design, technology, math, science and engineering activities.
In order to get this software at no charge, you will be asked to establish or verify your student status once every 12 months. This process is built into this DreamSpark site itself. Verification of valid student status will enable students from around the globe to download Microsoft developer and design tools at no charge. Note: You must be at least 18 years old or have otherwise reached the age of majority in the place (province, state or country) where you live, or if not, your parent or legal guardian must accept the Microsoft DreamSpark software license terms on your behalf, in order for you to download and use the software.
It is our hope that the DreamSpark program will spark your creativity and help you harness software’s transformative magic by turning your good ideas into reality and by giving you with the skills you need to succeed during school and after graduation.
