TechNet product demos and Evaluations
I am often asked how people can get hold of the software I talk about, either for demo or evaluation purposes. Whilst I try and remember to put links in to the TechNet Flash Affinity newsletter ahead of time, I thought it would be useful to tell you what resources are available to you on the site:
The TechNet Plus 2.0 Subscription. For all of those who don't know, this is an updated subscription service that provides all of the latest software etc on a license limited basis (not time limited!). https://www.microsoft.com/technet/canada/subscription/
The TechNet Canada Eval Portal, where you can order or download many of the programs for evaluation purposes. https://www.microsoft.com/technet/canada/eval/eval.mspx
Did you know that you can try many of the products online? Well, you do now! Take advantage of the TechNet Virtual Labs. https://www.microsoft.com/technet/traincert/virtuallab/default.mspx
