Hello,
I have been trying to find the correct way to set up VS Community for a school. The students are too young to have the accounts that are required after the 30 trial period.
I ended up talking to 3 different billing / licensing departments this morning and they all shuffled me off to other departments. At one point I was even directed to technical support and they were equally useless.
I would think that microsoft would make it a little easier for there development product to make it into a school. This would make it more likely that the next generation of developers would lean toward there product rather than the other options that are normally used in education.
The way I see it, I have three options.
I don't even know if options 2 and 3 are actually options since I have not been able to find anyone at microsoft willing to help me.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum and for the rant.
edit: I realize I forgot to pose a question. Does anyone know who I can talk to about this?

The way I see it, I have three options.
- Create an account for the school and all the students use it.
- Get Microsoft to help me properly license the software for the school.
- Something I haven't thought off.
