Sort of. Ivy Tech does not have a deal like IU does that covers all
students for MS software. The Bloomington campus has something called
the MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDN-AA) that allows certain studetns and
faculty enrolled in computer courses to download MS operating systems
and programming software, etc, but not the MS Office suite.
The Follet bookstore sells Windows and MS Office at a discount, and I
think they can be charged to financial aid, but check with the
bookstore to be sure.
There's also the Microsoft Ultimate Steal site:
http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx,
which is not free but is a very steep discount over retail price.

Can anyone recommend the best Patch Management program for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central remote assistance
[/url] ? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
