The one thing I don't pirate are OS's. I like legit copies. We have Windows 7 at work but I can't take it home.

Now I have Windows 7 installed even on my old school laptop suckaz (it's too old to even run Aero but hey, I can, okay?)

which reminds me masta, from your other thread...

i went to the MSDNAA site and found my university on there. i think that only my IT department and other IT students can access it, meaning that i cant as im a school of applied sciences student.

is there perhaps another way i could get this? they are requesting a 'Student Identifier' code which i do not have access to.

any possible excuses i could use to trick the lecturer's into receiving the code. they might check their registers to see if im an IT student, but last year i did an elective module for Intro to IT (because it was dead easy). maybe with the slightest chance possible i could retrieve that from them.

**If you do not know your student identifier, please contact your professor or MSDNAA Program Administrator.**

Well, I I took some time to read about MSDNAA.
On that page Sofi posted it says:
"Are you a Technical Student? (MSDNAA) Click here" Which means that MSDNAA should be available to all technical students, not only IT.

However here:
Student Resources
it says that MSDNAA should be available to all university students and I don't see any info on why should you not be able to download from there. It just seems to depend on the school you're in.

Here every student has his own student ID and password used to log in to an online platform where we can do basically everything about our studies (check test results, e-learning platform, download lectures, write petitions and check our documents/payments etc.). We use the very same student ID and password to access MSDNAA.

However each year the Microsoft department at our university sends us some guys to inform students on MSDNAA and how to use it so I think that if you are authorized to use it they should also somehow notify you.

HA! Like I said it should be available to all students. Even students at a forestry department in our "agricultural university" can use it lol
You should only check if your school was "kind" enough to subscribe:

MSDNAA School Search

I checked Birmingham and I see "Applied sciences" department on that list (Aston University?). Same for University of Birmingham and Chemistry department.
There's even some psychology department and School of Physics and Astronomy on that list.

You should email the administrator of your school's MSDNAA program to ask if you're allowed to use it and if so what's your login and password.

It won't be legit tho if he buys it for you with his edu email address? It'll be a license designed for him?

[mastabator247]

If it's a downloaded thing on a student license then if something happens (like Microsoft riding your house) the physical license is at his university.
However the cd key is legit, it registers online without any problems and you get full support.
