Student discount only, No student credentials, no free software. Registration keys only work once, so no login would help anyways unless they haven't activated anything. Sorry.

Not really, I've installed Visual Studio probably about 20 times.

They have some okay stuff, but if you are a student that would need this, like in a technical or engineering program, more than likely you can get all this and more through your school's MSDNAA program. I got a few copies of Windows 7 free through that, along with Project and some others.

@jsapp36: Yeah, MSDNAA is pretty sweet. I would say if you're a student, just find out about that.

Some of this software is stuff that I cannot get through school but I like to mess around with anyway. I got windows 7 from school for free but nothing like this.

I need to get an .edu e-mail from my school...

Never actually tried...never had a reason to until recently. Lots of help for students, help I could REALLY use (help=free/reduced prices).

Can I just ask 'em for an e-mail? Or is there a certain way of goin' about doing it?

@drchops: Depends on your school. Some give you no choice & you have to have one. Others you have to sign up for one yourself.

I got windows 7 through msdnaa. Unfortunately it comes with ONE license.

When i reformatted I had to call MS. If that doesnt work you have to remove activation for a product you paid for.

I've been using the MSDNAA up here at UC Santa Cruz for 3 years. All of my stuff is licensed through it. Visual Studio (for C# only, otherwise I work in a terminal), Three copies of Windows 7 (one x64, two 32-bit), and a slew of other things I got for free simply because I could.

If you're a student, this is the best. I even managed to get my keys renewed through their automated support line after reinstalling and attempting to re-activate.

There are several of these programs that can be downloaded for free directly from Microsoft (e.g. MS Robotics Developer Studio == RDS) without having to register with this site.

The RDS may be of interest to a number of Wooters because it will allow programming of a number of robots. Robots supported include the LEGO NXT system, the Roomba, and the WowWee RoboSapien. Some of these have been sold by Woot and/or given away in Woot-Off Bag of Crap shipments.

It will take you less time to find out than it took me to answer you here :)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
