After reading the updates from RFD, you do need to be a student (or at least you need to provide your student number and faculty advisor's name).

so you get 4 keys? x2 install on each key?
Can you use more than 1 key for Windows 7?
Hmm...does anyone know when this offer expires? I'm tempted

one license per key.
It's stated being 2 license because 32bit and 64bit W7 gives you a unique key.
If you were to buy W7 OEM/Retail, you have the choice of installing either with one cdkey. The site, however, provides you with two cdkeys, one for each version. Hence.. two license.
And it's 6 keys.

So, we pay $19 for membership. Download the ACTUAL FULL VERSION of Windows 7? The one that comes out in October?
So essentially, we're paying $19 for Windows 7?

I'm not seeing any opt-in link under the Developer Academic Alliance page. It's been about 2 days already.

they sent out a new email saying you need to provide proper student information and it needs to be verified before giving you the link

Yea, I already entered the info they wanted. I'm not sure the extent of the verification, if in fact they truly intend to do so.

It took 2 days, but my opt-in showed up. Just hang tight, you will get the opt-in once they verify that you are a studen.

That's a great encouragement
How did they verify whether you're student or not? I've read a post where ACM actually sent an email to the member's faculty advisor. I don't know if my faculty advisor will respond to this kind of stuff.
edit:
Nevermind, I just logged on and got my opt-in xD

Finally got my option to Opt-In
i doubt they'll email ur advisor they'd have to go search for the advisors email (if they even have one and then who knows if they'll reply)
think they just check your student id to see if you are a student

If you aren't a comp sci student, select Other.

If you read post #22 (my post), I already stated that.
There is an option to select Other as your faculty.
You don't need to be a comp sci student. If you were, MSDNAA access is free and you wouldn't have to pay $19USD.

I opted in, and am now just waiting for the MSNDAA access code to arrive. I guess I'll have to wait until after the weekend.

Still no Ultimate RTM though, unfortunately. I was hoping for an Ultimate key so I could install Trad. Chinese Windows 7 on my dad's laptop  | |
