[QUOTE="§am, post: 127900, member: 9187"] We're not as lucky here in the UK - most educational licenses are not as easy to get hold of, but when they are, can be as easy as having an email address which belongs to an educational establishment. Lucky for me too(?) my wife is a teacher, so if I ever need to, I can use her work email address to register stuff. MS products are a different ball game though, I get those pretty cheap through something called MS Action Pack, which among other things includes (on the last version I got), 10 licenses for Win7 Pro and Office 2010 Pro (incl Project & Visio), Server 2008 R2, Exchange 2010, and some other stuff too, all for the grand price of £240. If you only take the Win7 & Office products as 'useful' its still not bad paying £24 for both (~$36) Oh the joys of working in IT and knowing these little gems :) There are other (LEGAL) ways of getting various products and using them, but does involve a bit of know how :) (Virtual machines is all I'm gonna say on that) [/QUOTE]
