MSDN GUIDE
By Johngianni
In this guide I will explain to you how to get a MSDN Admin account. This guide was made for DreamTeam©. It was fully created by me.
What MSDN is mainly about is a account that can give you a download of Microsoft programs as well as generate keys. This can sometimes be immensely useful.
Steps
1. Depending on the quantity of accounts you decide to make, I recommend signing up here. What this does is allow you to create up to 100 email accounts on one office live account. This is very handy to use if you want to make several accounts.
2. After making the account hit "Email." Then you want to hit "Create New Email Account." It will ask for some quick information. When making the emails make them sound legit, not something crazy. In this case I can pick [email protected]. After you are satisfied with the amount of emails you have made click here to go to Bizspark.
3. Bizspark is the main way you will receive these programs. It is somewhat like a job application. You need to make it seem like quality. First, scroll down and look to the left. Check the box and hit "Join Bizspark now!"
NOTE: Once you hit "Join Bizspark now!" and you look on the top and it says "Sign out" this is because the Office Live account you made earlier is signed in. What you want to do is sign out and hit the main button again. Also, do not refresh the office live business account or you will be signed off of it. Just leave it on the page with the lists of emails if you want to look at it for every time you attempt to make an account.
4. It will then ask for a email and password. Go ahead in order from the emails you made on the office live account. It will ask you to make a new password. Just fill out everything immensely quick if you do not want to waste time.
TIP: What I sometimes do is make a quick password. One that is immensely simple. Just if you do that like me do not share your accounts you create to be safe and not lose them if they get accepted.
4. Next, sign in with the new password this time. Check both boxes to accept and go to the next step.
The Application
This is main part of the whole tutorial. It is important that you do this the best. Making it quality gives you a better chance of being accepted and not declined.
TIP: What sometimes works is you can search around for a minor SQL service. If they have some information you can use theirs. You can search around Yellow Pages sometimes as well.
1. The startup name is the company name. In this case mine will be Bob's SQL Services
2. For this step you should maybe find a site you manage to find. On Yellow Pages search around and usually you will find one with some information. If you really can not find one type in "N/A" I did this 3 times and have working MSDN Admins. Sometimes companies do not have hosted solutions which gives a excuse for no website.
3. For the address you can go on Google Maps. Try finding a legit address that can work. Fill in the address, city, zip code, and country.
4. The company description can be sometimes the most important element of the application. Make a brief summary on your company. This requires some good grammar and literature skills. Take some time and make it sound good. For mine I can say I have sold several SQLs and such.
5. In the description if you stated you have a small business then you should have low amount of Employees and developers. For instance, 40 employees and 35 developers.
6. Check box or boxes that match your company.
7. In all the drop down bars make them all say "No."
8. When it asks for a twitter say N/A.
9. Fill in a first name, last name and you do not have to include a phone number. Use the email address you made in the office live account. Tell how you heard about them and hit next step.
10. Scroll down and check off one network partner. What this does is your sending the application to them and if they accept you have a MSDN admin. It usually takes 3 business days.
NOTE: DO NOT CHOOSE A NETWORK PARTNER THAT IS HOSTING OR MICROSOFT!
After choosing you are finished! You can sign out and repeat this step with another account if you like. These accounts can sometimes be valuable. They are becoming more brutal to get now. It is good to have one for yourself. I hope you liked my guide and expect many more soon. Be sure to suggest some guides for me.
ONLY 3 MSDN ACCOUNTS CAN BE MADE ON ONE IP! THAT MEANS YOU SHOULD USE A PROXY SWITCHER FOR EVERY 3 ACCOUNTS YOU MAKE!
