-====== Microsoft Imagine Premium FAQ ====== +====== Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching ======
- +
-Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the DreamSpark Premium program of the institute of computer science. If your questions are not answered below, you can use the Helpdesk to send your question to the support group Neubau. Alternatively you can consult the EULA of [[https://imagine.microsoft.com/en-us/About/LicenseAgreement|Imagine Premium EULA]]. +
- +
-If there are any differences between this FAQ and the official EULA, then the official licensing is always right. +
- +
-===== Questions ===== +
- +
- +
- +
-==== Does DreamSpark Premium cost anything? ==== +
- +
-No. The software is completely free for use in research and teaching. +
- +
-==== May registered participants burn the software onto CD? ==== +
- +
-Usually, yes. Germany has a derogation for the license, which is explained in the German DreamSpark Premium FAQ. Because of copyright law you may create a personal safety copy, i.e. one copy per product and person. This copy may not be lent. This copy may not be created by the University and neither may it be distributed by the same and has to follow all other licensing terms.  +

- +
-==== May the secretary of an institute use DreamSpark Premium? ==== +
- +
-No. This activity is neither in the field of research nor in teaching. There might be special cases for staff directly involved in administrating the subscription, but those are defined in the EULA and this case does not apply here. +
- +
-==== May a researcher e.g. install Windows 8 on his computer at home?  ==== +
- +
-Yes, if he will use this for researching purpose. It's the same with teachers. +
- +
-==== May the software be installed on computers in a computer pool of the institute?  ==== +

- +
-Server products are both technically and legally limited in the number of supported clients (generally 10). +
- +
-==== Can I get a DreamSpark Premium key to my legally acquired Microsoft product, such as Windows 8? ==== +
- +
-No. The DreamSpark Premium keys are only valid on software acquired through DreamSpark Premium. Both software and key, must come from DreamSpark Premium. +

 +The "Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching" program is meant to for schools, academies and universities that are involved in higher MINT-oriented education. It allows the use of commercial software on private computers  of students or teachers involved in this type of education. It aims to be a means of evaluation and experimentation without the high investment costs of buying the original software.
  
 +Unfortunately, Microsoft has changed the license terms for this program. Since we do no longer meet these conditions, we can not offer this program to you anymore.
