Microsoft DreamSpark

Welcome!

Microsoft and JourneyEd have partnered to provide United States' higher education students access to Microsoft DreamSpark. This page is the starting point to a simple validation of your status as a student. The process is simple and should be familiar to you... it works just like any online purchase:

• You add DreamSpark to your shopping cart.
• You go through a few pages to check-out and verify that you are a student.
• You get an email with a URL and an access code that takes you to the DreamSpark download site at Microsoft.

We won't ask you to pay anything for DreamSpark along the way, but will provide you the opportunity to purchase any other products from JourneyEd that you may be excited about and interested in.

If you would like more information about DreamSpark, or if you are a student at an institution outside of the United States, please go to the DreamSpark site.

DreamSpark is simple, it's all about giving students Microsoft professional development and design tools for free so you can chase your dreams and create the next big breakthrough in technology - or just get ahead on your career.

Now, for the first time, Microsoft is making its valuable software developer tools available to students worldwide, for free – including Visual Studio Professional, Expression Studio (which include Web, Blend, Design, and Media), XNA Game Studio, SQL Server Developer Edition, and Windows Server.

DreamSpark provides a legitimate resource for students like you to download a legal and registered version of Microsoft's software development tools whether you need the tools for your classes or simply for furthering your knowledge or for fun.

It is the hope of the DreamSpark program that free Microsoft developer tools will help you succeed and excel in developing new and innovative solutions in your domain.

If you have any questions, download issues, installation issues, or usage questions, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions (Students) page for information.

Thanks and Enjoy !!
