Dreamspark

Hi all,

 

According to our EES welcome letter, DreamSpark is still free for us.

 

I am trying to go through the ordering process, but it is trying to charge me £47.98 for a years electronic software delivery. Will this become a zero charge when it processes the promo code further into the enrollment? or am i missing something?

 

Thanks

Probably missing something, we have only just activated ours and it's been available for a couple of years, it was a very simple effortless process, I just rang them up, UK number and was sorted wishing 24 hrs, I did need to send a covering letter via email with the schools details on it.

[CAWJames]

Thanks for that, any idea where you found the number?

 

Thanks

On our letter there was a code to enter at the checkout.

 

One year there was a problem with the code and an email to either Microsoft or Kivuto (can't remember which now) gave me a new code ot activate Dreamspark.

 

A while since I activated it now though.

Rang them up and they did the application online for me, I got a confirmation, just waiting now for the actual details, all in all much easier to phone!!

Hi All,

 

I am a complete novice to this. But I have used dreamspark as a student. How do I go about setting the school up on this ?

 

I think the only think we have that is remotely relevant is a volume licence agreement.

 

Thanks

Just found out that the codes we were issuing students are now invalid (been going since 2009 as far as I can see) so trying to get to the bottom of how to renew. Previous NM dealt with it and did not leave any info on it and looks as if things have changed at MS end in relation to it now anyway. Reseller is convinced its an entitlement via our open agreement but they have been passed around as well so far.

You usually get a code with your EES renewal (it's never changed) which is the one you enter at renewal to get Dreamspark for free

I just found this with our HUP agreement yesterday, but I guess it's the same process.

 

Go to VLSC, Software Assurance and there's a list of subscriptions you're entitled to including HUP. I'm guessing Dreamspark will be there as well. Click it and it takes you through the 'renewal' (free) process to get your new keys/codes for giving out.

I signed our school up to DreamSpark today - I needed to call them to gain a promo code so that we didn't have to pay (included in our EES) printed off the receipt confirmation etc - but haven't as yet received confirmation email... How long does the email normally take to come thru?
