My 2 year discount on Micro just expired. I'm still in school for another year, so I'm curious if there are any limitations to people that previously received free Micro as a student for 2 years, but had that initial 2 years run out. Is this new offer free Micro for the entirety of academic career or the same 2 year offer from before?

Either way, I hope I can get all the other awesome stuff (especially the CrowdFlower access). This + the 150 day free Azure trial I just got from a hackathon this past weekend would make for some enjoyable weekends.

That's an excellent bundle of free services for students.

Does the same price apply for teachers or what's the discounted rate?

I didn't get far enough along in the signup flow to see what the pricing was but did see teachers as an option.

generally they just rely on you having a .edu email address so I suspect you have access to the discounts.

Hey - you can apply again, and they'll approve it again. I had the same problem (I'm not sure if this is okay though)

Yeah, I was thinking about the time restrictions. A degree is 5 years in my country. I can see this being useful to students in the 3rd or 4th year, so one year is not enough. And being a student, I doubt they would start paying for those things. They need their money for books, food and partying :)

Oh awesome! Thanks for the heads up.
