techsoup may have something for you - you'd quite likely need to get an
administrator from your institution involved, as techsoup requires some
documentation to validate the institution.

Dave,
Intresting career choice, do you like the idea of a stressful life?
The Registered partner program is a good way to get the Action Pack which
as
mentioned includes virtually all current MS software. You could consider
setting up a company, it would be a good way of getting some decent
experience and hopefully make a little bit of cash while you are studying.
Depending on your budget and availability of hardware, you could also
consider buying a cheap server from the likes of Dell with the version of
OEM
SBS2003 pre-installed. You can actually get a server with SBS for less
than
the full cost of the software on its own, especially if you can buy it
though
your university. You never know you may actually be able to sell it on
when
the time comes.
The other option is to keep getting trial software, it runs for 6 months
and
you can either re-install it or just get a new trial pack after six
months.
I would seriously consider the Dell option, can't you get you parents to
fund it on the basis that every home really does need a server!!

Hi Guys,
I am currently studying for a computer degree at university and would
like
to obtain a carer in setting up networks for small local businesses.
As I am currently studying for this, I would like to be able to purchase
Windows Small Business Server 2003 so I can 'practice' real life
environments
at home.
The full retail version of this would be far too expensive just for
'trial &
error' purposes, and I'm not interested in having the trial versions
either.
I have heard from a few people that I may qualify for a cheaper version
as I
am currently studying at university. After a bit of research I have
looked
around the internet and found open licence versions of small business
server
2003.
Can I purchase this, and if so will it be fit for my purposes?
Many thanks,
Dave
