All students in an IT, CS, or other IT-taught course have access to free software from Microsoft (Operating Systems, Visual Studio, Visio, Access, Project, OneNote) but not Word/Excel/PowerPoint/
The site for our MSDNAA access is https://msdn06.e-academy.com/clayton_it/
Students log in using their full CSU email address, and the system can email them their passwords (we do not have access to their passwords). As always, students can download the software or order CDroms (for a nominal shipping fee).
If you have logged into MSDNAA and downloaded an ISO file (for example, Visual Studio 2005 Professional), you may not know what to do with such a file once acquired.
You can use Roxio or Nero or some other CD/DVD burning tool if you have one to burn this ISO to disc (don’t just copy the file to the disc – you need to process it first), but if you don’t have software to handle ISO files or don’t want to use a CD/DVD burner, you can use a free program called ISORecorder.
ISORecorder extracts ISO file contents to a directory on your hard drive (similar to a ZIP extraction program); from there, you could run the SETUP file to install the needed software.
To get ISORecorder, search the internet, or go download the XP (sp2) version at http://cims.clayton.edu/jpreston/ISORecorderV2B2.zip
