There was a post a few weeks ago about the Home Use Program and also the On The Hub program about free Software for Students.
I just wanted to remind other students, that if your University or School has a valid Microsoft Partnership, you may be eligible for Dreamspark/Microsoft Imagine.

This program has the entire range of Microsoft Products for Development and Operating Systems available for you to use and download for free, along with software registration keys to enable valid installations.
The attractive features is the free Azure services, Operating Systems - Server 2016 downloads, if you do SQL, they have the Enterprise edition there. VS Enterprise use to be included, but now I just checked it isn't anymore.

If your school is eligible, you will have the Office development software to download as well - unless they changed it when Dreamspark became Imagine.

You also get a Windows Developer Account… a lifetime one, my registration expires in 2065

      If this is a actual business server you may want to rethink what that…

      • this one isn't like a technet trial… unless the one yoyo got is different

        I'm not even sure how the licensing works for the server editions, or if it expires with the dreamspark account..

        I'm in the middle of installing Data Centre to my laptop and downloaded all the isos I could

      • It's an activated key
        Much better interface than 2012
        Also nice that I am running on a new SSD!

    Microsoft is saying that you will die in 48 years with a 'lifetime' account That expires in 2065. They really can tell everything about you from your metadata!

      they're doing a terrible job, I don't think I'll make it to 2050 with all the drugs and women and game of thrones piracy in my life… I should probably facebook more

  • I tried running 3d mark in a hyper-v
