Free Microsoft, Adobe and other software for [Aus] Students.

As a part of the bring-your-own-device initiative you can get free software including things like MS Office 2013, Win 7 Ult and Win 8 Pro upgrades as well as some Adobe software (Sadly no entire CS5/6 suite). It's only available to Australian students (High school students that is) and it's a bit tricky to get to.

 

Steps:

1. Go to your student portal and log in.

2. When in your student portal look down the left side and find the box that says 'learning', then in that box click the link that says 'Adobe DEC Software Download'

3. Now you'll have to go and make an account with that site using your student info.

4. Once you have an account go and grab any software you want.

5. Check out and you'll get your keys, you can then get their download client (It is unnecessary, but you have to) and download your installers.

6. Enjoy your new software.

 

Now I'm going to go install Win 8.

 

Update: I'm not sure how widely avaliable this is. It seems to only be for public schools, and it MIGHT be only for NSW. I'm not sure. Feel free to give it a shot anyways.

That would be great......if my school actually used the crappy SoE 4 instead of its own custom build. 

I have no idea what my DET Portal sign in is.

I'm in a private school, so I don't have access to the DET portal. :(

Sorry for the convoluted speech pattern.
