Free Microsoft Developer Account Process for Students Via DreamSpark

Thank-you for watching this Azure in IS Lab Series "How-To" Video!

In order to publish apps for Windows desktop, tablet and phone, you need to have a Microsoft Developer Account. A Microsoft Developer Account costs $19 US, but qualifying students can get them for free using a token that they can get once they register and verify their student status on DreamSpark.com. In this video I show where to get the developer account token or code on the DreamSpark website, and how to redeem it when registering for a developer account on Windows Dev Center.
