DreamSpark is an excellent initiative by Microsoft to enable students access premium Microsoft software at no charge. We have already seen its roll out in other countries.
DreamSpark India is live and kicking now. It allows students in India to download Microsoft developer and design tools at no charge. Students can access software like: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Expression Studio.
Here is simple procedure to get going:
* Select and Visit partner location near your place.
* Show your college ID card & collect software DVD.
* Then get verified & enter 25 digit key found on the DVD.
* Login using Live ID and complete verification process.
* Download License keys from DreamSpark website.
(I am not sure if they are actually giving it right now, but the current status in NIIT website shows they are indeed supplying Dreamspark Dvds to college students.....)
If you are not able to get those, you can get the express editions from The following link
