Does a law student (not taking computer courses) qualify for student membership?

For ACM, yes, but not for MSDNAA.

Can you do this if you're a student in the UK or do you have to be from the US?

Am I to understand that getting the ACM membership and opting in for the MSDN-AA account won't work unless you're an IT student? I'm an advertising major, does that mean I paid 19 bucks for nothing?

Also, what's up with the wait for the login info? It's been over 24 hours and I've yet to receive anything.

No. You paid $19 to learn that it is best to read the terms and conditions of an agreement before you pay for something.

The benifits of being an engineering major keep paying off. I got an email from my college a few weeks ago about the program. I now have win7 x64 on my laptop and win7 x86 on my desktop and it was all FREE. And i can get other microsoft programs for free too. I told my friend about it but he's a buisness major and didnt qualify.

ACM is going to Verify your Authenticity as a Student.

Today i recieved an email from ACM asking to submit my Uni. ID and my faculty Incharge before September 25th if I need to get access to MS, Sun ........

Mail Said

It is important for ACM to verify that the individuals taking advantage of the ACM Student Academic Initiative are indeed students

P.S : who is a Student Advisor ? Im not familiar with the word, Is it the Department Head (i mean the person who is in charge of my Faculty) ?

I waited patiently for Tews to gather himself. It was only after you proved his error that I had to nudge him.

Don't know why I didn't send a PM.

So on my MSDN account I see Windows 7 X64 Professional edition for free. Is this the final build or just a RC of some kind?

I also have a choice to download ultimate but it is only 32bit mode.


Thanks for the help. I am sorry I did not read through 34 pages so I would guess this has already been covered.

If you are talking about the MSDNAA then you'll get the Professional Only, and its the Final.
Windows 7 Professional(x32) - DVD(English)
Windows 7 Professional(x64) - DVD(English)

If you are talking about the MSDN account then you can access any Edition of both 32 and 64bit.

What account do you have MSDN or MSDNAA ?

 

[Adamd]

MSDNAA

Well then I will start downloading. I guess being an student in IT it worth while haha

It is free for me tho. Not the $19 that some have to pay?

Then you can only download Windows 7 Professional 32/64 bit at the moment.

If you accessed MSDNAA through ACM then you MUST pay $19. If your school is in the MSDNAA list then you dont have to.

UPDATE :

   Note

MSDNAA has updated the list with

Windows 7 Professional(x32) - DVD(Chinese-Simplified)
Windows 7 Professional(x64) - DVD(Chinese-Simplified)

Thanks for the help!

Windows pro will be good enough for me at least for the time being.

Well the actual Verification Process I guess no one in here knows how its done.
Iv been registered for about several weeks back. Today this email came.

   Note

As part of our student offerings, we created the Student Academic Initiative (SAI) whereby we offer Student Members access to software that is made available through selected vendors.

It is important for ACM to verify that the individuals taking advantage of the ACM Student Academic Initiative are indeed students. Therefore, we are asking you to provide us with the information below by Friday, Sept. 25th.

* The Name of Your Faculty Advisor
* Your Student Identification Number

Thank you for your help in this matter!

Director of Membership

may be they are doing a routine check, or they suddenly started to verfy as there must have been so many unverifiable entries getting accessed to their resources.

Well usually for the first Payment Aproval and Developper Access it may take 1-3 Business Days.

Maybe they check only outside US students.

For ACM, yes, but not for MSDNAA.

Please, cite your source. It could be that taking the ACM courses fufills the requirement of taking computer courses.
