[QUOTE="jonaskp, post: 509316, member: 26015"] I just got the mail (and was on my way here to post in, when I saw there were a new post in the topic). I am at work now, so I can't test it but it seems that it is working. Just one thing I noticed when reading their FAQ: Q: Does the license (or "key") permanently unlock the software? A: No - the key allows you to install the software once. If you need to re-install the software, you will need to contact the PA (Program Administrator) at your school. Your PA's contact email information can be found in the support page. To view this information, please click on the Support button above. So it seems we can only install the software once, and after this we have to get a new key. Never heard of Windows License keys working that way. Even stranger, another place in the FAQ it says: Q: Can I install my software on two computers at once? A: Yes, as long as you are the owner of both computers and both are being used for instructional purposes. NOTE: If you require another key for a product you must contact the PA (program administrator) at your school. Your PA's contact email information can be found in the support page. Click on the Support button above. Also, friends, family and colleagues not currently enrolled in a course that is part of an MSDNAA department are not allowed to access or use the software available from this website. (For examples of appropriate usage see: [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/academic/program/usageguide/default.aspx]Content not found[/url]) So I can only install the software with the key one time, but I am allowed to install on as many computers as I'd like? It seems a bit odd. Of course, all of this is to stop "free-rollers" like ourselves from getting the good stuff. Looks like we have to install, and then take an image of the disc so that we can reinstall without getting a new key. Also, I am unsure what windows versions to download and how many I can download.
