Hello,
Today I got my login for the Computer Science college at my University (I am taking a single, first year course, I am only taking one class right now cause I am actually in Electrical Engineering and it is the spring and summer session right now) and have discovered that I am able to download ISO's for almost any MS software package that has to do with CS. Including the said OS's. This is all from a service called "ELMS for MSDNAA Software Center".
I haven't really been able to find much info on my university webpages that talks about all of this other than if you are registered in a CS course then you have FREE access to all of this software.
I just finished downloading images for the 3 said versions of Windows along with legitimate serial numbers for each.
What I want to know is: why am I allowed free access to all of this software and to get it all I have to do is be registered in 1, simple CS class? It's like I have thousands of dollars worth of software that I don't even really need. I was wondering if it is like this for many other people in CS. Thank you.
