AnswerHow do I apply my 2 free course entitlement that I get as an MSDN Premium customer

    I understand that as an MSDN Premium customer I can claim 2 free courses per year. How do I claim these?

    I have chosen the courses and added them to my cart. Do I still need to enter my payment details if the courses are free, or should I have an access code I can enter?

    Thanks, Nick

    Hi all,

    On re-entering the eLearning site after the weekend I was prompted to choose my 2 free courses. I can onloy assume that after following the initial link from the MSDN newsletter that some registration was delayed.

    Thx, Nick

    Hello Nick,

    To claim your free MSDN  eLearning benefits you need to enter via the MSDN portal. (
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/default.aspx ) and to login with your Windows Live ID. 

    On the MSDN My Accounts page you can click a link (Learning Benefit I think) and this should transfer you directly onto the eLearning site at the Product Selection page.
    Tick the collections you want to avail of. Be sure to click both collections as the choices need to be made at the outset.
    This will add the collections to your My Learning folder on Learning Manager and you can access them directly on Learning Manager or via the MSDN My Accounts Page from this point on.

    Hope this helps you out.

    Rory
