I guess you cant get Dreamspark if you have graduated? I had this for a couple of years however i'm no longer at University and my account has expired.
Ah Dreamspark the two Digiex servers use the Windows Server 2008 R2 licences myself and Nimrod got back in University from Dreamspark. It's a shame accounts expire after a year and i no longer have access to my uni email address, wouldn't have minded a legit copy now i dont have Technet anymore!
