The University of Leoben is now a member of the MSDN Academic Alliance Program. This means to students and staff/faculty, Microsoft software at no cost (that includes Windows platforms, server and developer tools etc.) for their lab computers and personal computers.

What is the MSDN Academic Alliance? 

The MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) is a program offering memberships for academic departments. A member receives an MSDNAA subscription that includes Microsoft platform, servers, and developer tools software. Over 300 hundred Microsoft products are available.

Permitted License Uses 

The software may be installed on any number of departmental lab machines. The software must be used for instructional and research purposes. In addition, the department's faculty and students may check-out or download the software to install on their personal computers. The licenses are perpetual and nontransferable. You don't have to uninstall the tools, but the stipulation of "academic use only" does not change. Note: MSDNAA usage guidelines and the MSDN End-User License Agreement (EULA) apply.

How to obtain the software

Every student is already signed up and got an email containing the login information to the Microsoft MSDN AA Software Center: LINK.

Please note, that you get a license for each dowloaded software product.
