ACM.org MSDNAA Access for 19$US (Windows 7, XP, Vista, more...)

I don't understand what it's about, but apparently, everyone's been able to get Windows 7 for $19.

I was going to post this last weekend. Yup its confirmed to work. I tried it myself. You register on ACM and pay the 19$ fee for membership. And then once they process your payment you're allowed to "Opt in" for the MSDNAA access. Once you're in you have access to 4 versions of Win 7, Vista, XP SP3 etc. ALl of which you DL the iso and they give you a key. As for reinstalling later on the same PC, im not too sure as I heard they were one time use keys.

BTW for Windows 7 you get:

X86 Windows 7 English
X86 WIndows 7 French
X64 WIndows 7 English
X64 WIndows 7 French

Great deal in my books.

The thing is, I am confused about how many keys they give you. The Op said they provide 2 licenses, but everyone is downloading 4 copies of Windows.

Also, can you download 4 Windows 7 x86?

rageguy 09-08-2009 04:52 PM

each key i was able to use it on 2 computer before the need to call in to ms and activate manually (explain why i am installing it for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time). i was able to use one key for 5 installs so far.

you get 4 keys. you can probably do 5x4 installs = 20 installs. it's just that you will have to convince the ms csr that you are not pirating.

No, essentialy those 4 I listed are the ones you can DL. And they give you 1 key for each copy. They provide 2 copies for a key on the same platform (X86 or X64) since they give you french and english versions which you can basically change the language once you install.

trd2343 09-08-2009 05:01 PM

So you can change the language from French to English once you installed it with the French x64/86?

What information did you give them at sign up? I'm opting to put generic names and address....
It also asked do I belong to ACM Student Chapter....

and Thanks!

Buy me a 6 pack and its done. :thumbsup:

way2quik 09-08-2009 05:47 PM

Confirmed to work.
Already got 4 keys.

StylinRed 09-08-2009 05:55 PM

so are we able to download any software they offer? or are we just allowed the choice of 1 (example winxp only or winvista only or windows7 only)

way2quik 09-08-2009 07:20 PM

any software available on the site. ex. XP Pro, XP Pro w/ SP1, XP Pro w/ SP... etc. 7 Pro, 7Pro French Windows Home Server.... etc, there is no Vista Home Premium though. I wish there was, not that it matters anymore, but still.

there will be NO MS Office, not now not in the future.

There are 4 keys to Windows 7 as already mentioned above: 7 Pro (x86 and x64) and 7 Pro French (x86, x64) - a total of 4 keys interchangeable between the four versions. I haven't tried, but I believe it's already confirmed over at RFD.

SkinnyPupp 09-08-2009 08:03 PM

Students only? Who cares?

DragonChi 09-08-2009 09:48 PM

students care?

I'm on MSDNAA through another organization and I got W7 x64 ultimate :D

SkinnyPupp 09-08-2009 09:52 PM

In the other thread, every student here had a reply saying they already got Windows 7. Why would they need to do this then?

Peturbo 09-08-2009 10:28 PM

If anybody has any extra keys that they don't need, I'll buy it off you for $15. Or 6pack of your choice.
Anybody?

Vansterdam 09-09-2009 05:54 AM

g604 09-09-2009 12:26 PM

I don't remember if I had to input my student #, but is currently required to do so.

From RFD, ACM, on Sept 09, began asking for student information. I guess all those non-students got lucky with the offer and ACM tightened up.

There is a total of 6 keys now. 2 chinese (simplified, x86 and x64) were added.

trd2343 09-09-2009 05:27 PM

I still haven't signed up yet.

I know it's not OK to sign up if you're not a student.

But what if you were a student but not in any computer related program?

StylinRed 09-09-2009 06:39 PM

reamemiya there's an option for "other" in the degree choices, even business.. so i doubt its a concern


they wanted my student id and the faculty advisors name... i cant find their name for the life of me so i just put in the name of the department head


still dont have an option to "opt-in" though

I'm not sure about this method, but there isn't a mention that you have to be a student.
