DreamSpark is now available to any university student who has an edu.au E-mail address.

DreamSpark is a program that gives university students access to 100% free software, including Window Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 along with others.

DreamSpark together with the It’s Not Cheating program empowers students to reach their potential with awesome free tools.

  1. anthony m Said,

    well have you guys tried to verify with UWA email, it says not valid for me…

    i am using lastname5charactersfirstname1character@student.uwa.edu.au

  2. Luke Said,

    We’ll get that checked out for you…

  3. Luke Said,

    Thanks anthony for bringing this to our attention.

    A glitch has been found in the system and we are working on fixing it now.

    Hey Anthony,

    The new email verification system had a couple of glitches. The first one – a problem with some unicode data – was fixed last week, but the second one is still being processed. Hopefully we’ll get it rectified in the next day or so.

    In the meantime, if you want to get up and running with DreamSpark, email ozdspark@microsoft.com from your university email address, and we’ll sort you out.

    Thanks
    Andrew

  5. William Said,

    Is this just in regard to TAFEs in WA?

    I would like to know what is happening with TAFEs in NSW.

  6. Luke Said,

    Hi William,

    This should be for all TAFEs Australia wide. If you are having issues with one particular TAFE domain, please forward the domain to me (lukekim@student-partners.com.au) and I will have it checked up for you.

    Luke

  7. William Said,

    Hi Luke,

    I have sent you an email.

    Regards,
    William.

  8. William Said,

    Hi Luke,

    Did this blog post change?

    I’m sure it previously said Dreamspark was already available to TAFE students.

    William.

  9. anthony m Said,
