DreamSpark Verification Update

Just a quick post today with a couple of bits of useful info about DreamSpark...

I have had a few mails from people who can't find their university listed in the 'Select your school/organization' list on the DreamSpark site. If your uni isn't listed you should still be able to verify using either your Athens ID (provided by most universities) or ISIC (number on ISIC or NUS Extra cards) - see below.

If you have an NUS Extra card all you need to do is select ISIC and enter the last 12 digits from your NUS Extra card.

If your university isn't listed, you're not provided with Athens IDs and you don't have an ISIC or NUS Extra card then take a look at the FAQ. If you still can't get verified then click here to get in touch.

If you have downloaded software from DreamSpark but are wondering what to do with the iso file then there is an excellent guide on Channel8 written by UK MSP Kris Athi. Check it out here.
