MSDN-AA In Depth
The MSDN Academic Alliance is an annual membership program for technical departments in the areas of computer science, engineering, and information systems. As a member, a department receives an MSDN-AA subscription that includes a Microsoft platform, servers, and developer tools software. This software may be installed on any number of departmental lab machines. The software must be used for instructional and research purposes; it may not be used to run the infrastructure of the department. In addition, the department’s faculty and students may check-out or download the software to install on their personal computers.
