Faculty and Staff Use Guidelines

MSDNAA - Faculty and Staff Use Guidelines

As a member of the MSDNAA, the department in which you take courses units is authorized to provide you with program software for use on your personal computer. To be in compliance with the MSDNAA program requirements, you must follow these usage guidelines when using the program software on your computer. You must also agree to the terms of the MSDNAA End User License Agreement (EULA), the Amendment to Master End-User License Agreement, and any conditions required by the academic department.

The MSDNAA Site Administrator will be responsible for maintaining records of student use and ensuring there is full compliance with the program among all department users, including students, faculty and staff. Please see your Site Administrator for User Account access only. For more information, please visit Frequently Asked Questions.

By installing, copying, or otherwise using the product, you agree to be bound by the terms of the EULA and the License Amendment. If you do not agree to be bound, do not install, copy or use the product.

Installation Guidelines:

  • Your department will either provide server access for you to download program software, or create up to 50 copies of the software to be checked out on a temporary basis to install on personal use computers. All software reproduced for checkout will include a complete copy with all copyright and trademark notices.
  • You must be registered in at least one credit course within the member department to be eligible to load program software on your personal use computer. Students registered solely for non-credit courses in the department are not eligible to receive program software.
  • You may not give copies of loaned software to anyone else for use. Other qualifying students must obtain software via the methods set up by the MSDNAA Site Administrator.
  • In order to install certain components of the product, you may need an Academic Alliance Product Key (“Product Key”). The Product Key will be assigned to solely download authorized software. You may not disclose Product Key information to anyone else.
  • The MSDNAA Site Administrator will maintain records of downloaded software downloaded from the server or software that is checked out. The Site Administrator will provide those records to Microsoft upon request.

Usage Guidelines:

  • You may use the software for non-commercial purposes including instructional use, research and/or design, development, and testing of projects for both class assignments and tests or personal projects. You may not use the program software for any for-profit software development.
  • When you are no longer a registered student in a department that is a member of the MSDNAA you may no longer receive updates for your personal use computer. However, you may continue to use previously installed software on your computer, provided you continue to follow program guidelines.
  • If you violate the terms of the License Agreement and EULA, the MSDNAA Site Administrator will demand confirmation of removal of the program software on your personal use computer.
