Once your database is properly set up with one of the sources we can receive, contact DreamSpark technical support using the Web form on the Contact Us page. Microsoft will review your information and authorize it to be added to our list of authorized verification sources. To complete the connection with the DreamSpark program, you will be asked to share with Microsoft the specific IDP PKI metadata needed to verify student status within your database. After all connections are supported and data mapping testing is complete, you will be enabled as an IDP, thus allowing your students to become verified. Once verified, the students can begin downloading Microsoft software tools from the DreamSpark site.
