5. To start downloading software for
free, you’ll first have to verify that you’re
a current college student. Click Sign In
beside the program’s box art to get
started.

6. Sign in with your normal Windows Live ID, such as a
Hotmail, XBOX Live, or MSN Messenger account. You
don’t have to use your college’s @yourcollege.edu email
address, as you will enter your college credentials later to
verify that you are a student.

10. If you selected Get verified through my School as a student, you’ll
be directed to a page to select your school. Select your country
and state or province, and then choose your school from the list on
the right. Click Continue at the bottom when you’ve selected your
college.

11. Now you’ll be asked to enter your name, date of birth, and
college email address. Make sure to enter the
@yourschool.edu email address you have from your
college. Click Verify when you’re finished.

12.  That’sall; now you should be fully verified
with DreamSpark and ready to start
downloading and using free Microsoft
software. If DreamSpark couldn’t
automatically verify your information, you
may have to wait a few days for them to
contact your college and verify you. Don’t
worry, though; if you’re in a
standard, accredited college in one of the
available countries, you’ll be able to access
the software as soon as they verify you.

13.  Now that you’re verified, you can download any of the
available programs. Select the language you want, and click
Download.

14. By default, DreamSpark programs will download with the
Akamai Download manager, which runs as an ActiveX
Control in IE, or as a Java applet in Firefox, Chrome, and
other browsers.

15.  This will open the Akamai Download
manager, which will let you easily pause and
resume downloads to make sure you get the
whole file downloaded. Note that many of the
downloads are several gigabytes large, so they
may take a while to download, depending on
your internet connection.

16.  Many of the programs are available as
ISO disk images, so follow our
tutorial on How To Burn an ISO Image
to Disk. Alternately, you could
Mount the ISO Image and install the
software without burning a disk.
 If you’d like to try out Server 2008
R2 but don’t have an extra computer
to install it on, try running it in
the free VMware Player.

17. Conclusion
 No matter what your computer
interests, DreamSpark offers programs for
design, development, IT, and more. You are not
allowed to use these programs to develop or
support commercial products, but you can learn
them inside and out and develop
freeware. Plus, it allows you to submit
real, commercial apps to the Windows Phone app
store for free, so you can get a head start on
making money with Windows Phone 7 as well.
