MSDNAA -
Student 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.
