  18. How to access software

  19. There are 3 methods to access software once an Institution has enrolled in DreamSpark: How to Access Software 15 • Note: • Even when choosing to activate the ELMS webstore, it is important that the Administrator creates a MSDN Subscription Portal account. This is required to get access to certain products and keys for lab installation. For example, to get product keys for lab installation for Microsoft Operating Systems, since Kivuto cannot distribute these product keys via their ELMS webstore. • Through MSDN Subscription Portal • This is for Administrators only. • Administrators can download software and products keys and make them available to student via the Institution intranet or by burning DVDs for check-out. • By activating an ELMS (Electronic License Management System) • A webstore that allows administrator to administer user accounts for students, faculty and labs, provide product keys and also restrict product catalog if required. • A benefit offered by Microsoft to customers at no cost via our partner Kivuto (formerly known as E-academy). • By giving student access directly to DreamSpark.com For detailed information refer to software deployment guide which can be downloaded from https://www.dreamspark.com/Institution/Subscription.aspx

  20. Academic Institution Subscription Access 16 Administrators can access their MSDN Subscription Portal and their Electronic License Management System (ELMS) Webstore (if they deployed one) at any time through the academic institutions Subscription Access https://www.dreamspark.com/Institution/Access.aspx Remember: MSDN Subscription Portal access if only for administrators, not for students.

  21. Webstore Access For Students 17 • 1. Go to https://www.dreamspark.com/Student/Default.aspx?tab=2 • 2. Type in the name of the institution in the search box (see picture) • 3. Click on ‘’Visit the webstore” ELMS webstores are the recommended way to deploy software to your students and faculty so we encourage you to contact Kivuto and set one up. ELMS URLS can be hard to remember. For students to easily access your ELMS webstore in the future, they can follow these steps:

  22. FAQs 18 How can I determine if my institution is already a member of the DreamSpark program? Go to the https://www.dreamspark.com/Institution/Access.aspx page and enter your institution’s name in the “find your academic institution” textbox. If your school or institution does not appear in the search box, your institution is not currently a member of the DreamSpark subscription program. How do I change the Program Administrator for the subscription if needed? In the event you need to, you will need to update the mailing address and the name of the contact person. Email the customer service department for your region. A full list of our Regional Service Center is available on https://www.dreamspark.com/Institution/Support.aspx Make sure to provide your Subscriber ID # and name of the institution/school. Can an institution/school enroll both in a DreamSpark Standard and a DreamSpark Premium subscription? Yes, absolutely, particularly since DreamSpark Premium is only for a single eligible department. If you want to have a campus-wide subscription, you need to enroll in DreamSpark Standard even if one of your departments has a DreamSpark Premium. Also if your institution has multiple eligible STEM departments, each department needs to enroll in a DreamSpark Premium subscription, so in this case it is very common that an institution would have multiple subscriptions. I have seen that the DreamSpark for Student program (direct to student offering), offers free access to students to post their apps on the Windows Store, Windows Phone Dev Center etc. How can my students avail of these offers? Your students will need to have a verified DreamSpark.com account, which is separate from their ELMS account. They can sign up through https://www.dreamspark.com/Account/CreateAccount.aspx You can find more information at https://www.dreamspark.com/Student/App-Development.aspx Note that we have added functionality to the ELMS to get DreamSpark verification codes to simplify the DreamSpark account verification process. Look for an ad related to ‘’Free Windows Store access for students’’ on the ELMS Home Page to learn more.

  23. FAQs –multi-sites Academic VL agreements/ITAs 19 • I have purchased Academic VL Agreement as part of a multi-site deal (e.g. a State or Country-wide deal), how many DreamSpark subscriptions can I enroll in at no cost? You can enroll in 1 subscription for EACH of your institutions, i.e. each of your institutions/schools can enroll using the same DreamSpark promo code and valid Academic VL or ITA agreement number. We actually recommend that each institution gets its own subscription. Make sure to pass on the agreement # and DreamSpark promo code to all of your institutions’ administrators. If you have multiple departments eligible for DreamSpark Premium, each department should enroll. • I have purchased Academic VL Agreement as part of a multi-site deal (e.g. a State or Country-wide deal), can I have a single subscription and a single ELMS webstore for all sites? Will I still be able to have multiple administrators? • Yes you can but you need to be aware of the following limitations: • Only 1 administrator will be able to access MSDN Subscription Portal, which means that only that administrator will be able to get access to Microsoft Operating Systems lab keys. So s/he will need to distribute keys to all other institutions’ lab administrators (and the software too if you do not deploy a ELMS). The administrator needs to be the person enrolling in the DreamSpark subscription. MSDN Subscriber portal does not allow to have multiple administrators. • ELMS webstores allow to have multiple administrators but you need to contact dreamspark@kivuto.com to set them up. You can then organize the users of your single webstore in different user groups (one per institution/school), each with an administrator if you prefer, or just have the one administrator manage the site and software access for all institutions, whatever you prefer. Sub-administrators will be able to download products for labs but not all product keys. See above.

  24. FAQs - Renewal 20 How can I find out when my subscription is expiring? Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage and check the details and expiration date under "My Account". How can I find my current Subscriber ID? Go to the http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage to find the subscriber ID under “My Subscription” in "My Account“ page. Can I renew again at no cost? In order for you to renew again at no cost, you need to first renew your Academic VL subscription or renew your IT Academy. You will receive again the DreamSpark promo codes in you Welcome letter. I have an ELMS webstore, what do I need to do to ensure that I do not lose my webstore if my DreamSpark subscription is expiring? You will receive a DreamSpark renewal notice 60 days before you subscription expires, and then again at regular intervals as reminder. We recommend that you renew your subscription within 60 days to be able to keep the same subscriber ID and webstore. All your student accounts, product catalog and settings will be preserved. Does my DreamSpark subscription expire at the same time as my Academic VL Agreement or IT Academy? Not in most cases: the DreamSpark subscription is valid for 1 or 3 years, depending on the promo code, from the moment you enrolled and your subscription became active. The only exception is DreamSpark Standard subscriptions for customers that purchased IT Academy directly since we automatically enrolled you at the same time as you enrolled in ITA.
