Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance Software
Overview
The University of Southern Mississippi School of Construction provides Microsoft operating
systems and developer tools to its faculty, staff, and students through its Microsoft
Developer Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) agreement.
Current faculty, staff, and students enrolled in courses that teach the specific technologies
can download a licensed copy of operating systems, server applications, and developer
applications for non profit, educational, and research use. Access to these products
is monitored through the Electronic License Management System (ELMS).
Students who require access to the MSDNAA software should request access through their
instructor. Student requests made directly to the MSDNAA administrator will not be
processed.
Faculty and staff who require access to the MSDNAA software should contact the MSDNAA
administrator via e-mail or internal work request. Please read the section on System
Access for additional information.
Distribution Server Operation
This is a self-server software distribution system requiring several steps.
Notes:
Not all software titles and service packs have been configured for ELMS delivery. Contact the MSDNAA administrator if you require an MSDNAA product that is not posted on ELMS.
Some products now have the option to order the media online for the nominal cost of media and shipping. Neither Southern Miss nor the School of Construction are party to this online transaction. This option is provided for users who are taking classes remotely or are limited to a low bandwidth Internet connection.
