VMware Student Demos

[Snozzberries]

Hi all,

I was curious if VMware offers a similar program to that of Microsoft's MSDNAA or DreamSpark programs?

I know there are 60 day trials, but I have found that having unlimited time to test the software would be awesome. I am currently a full time student and work in IT for a hospital full time so my spare time to play is limited. I can have access to some of the VMware software through my work, but since that is a production environment I can't just decide to setup and configure a View VDI on it without a lot of political hassle. Plus providing proof of concepts on my own personal infrastructure definitely helps sell new ideas to the higher ups.

Thanks

Thank you for that Scott, both of my universities have let their subscriptions expire. Guess I will have to talk to the department heads now. Or possibly I can talk our rep for work into letting me pay the sub.
