MSDN Academic Alliance – Student Use Guidelines
As a member of the MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA), the department
in which you take credit courses is authorized to provide you with
program software for use on your personal computer. To be in
compliance with the MSDN Academic Alliance 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
MSDN End User License Agreement (EULA), the
Amendment to the EULA, and any conditions required by your
department.
The MSDNAA Site Administrator at your school 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 systems administration staff. Please see your
Site Administrator for any questions that you may have about the
program, or refer to
www.msdnaa.net.
By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Product, you agree
to be bound by the terms of the EULA and the Amendment to the EULA. If
you do not agree to be bound, do not install, copy, or use the
Product.
Installation Guidelines:
- Your department will provide server access for you to download
program software.
- 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. Other
qualifying students must obtain software via the method(s) 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 solely to download authorized
software. You may not disclose the Product Key information to
anyone else.
- The MSDNAA Site Administrator will maintain records of software
downloaded from a server or checked out, and 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, and development and
testing of projects for class assignments, 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 MSDN Academic Alliance, you may no longer
receive updates for your personal use computer. However, you may
continue to use previously installed products on your computer,
provided you continue to follow program guidelines.
- If you violate the terms of the EULA and the Amendment to the
EULA, the MSDNAA Program Administrator will demand confirmation
of removal of the program software from your personal-use
computer.
I have read and agree to these terms and conditions.
