*UPDATE 10/21 - EIGHT LICENSE KEYS* Windows 8 Professional, Windows Server 2012, VS 2012 Ultimate + more FREE with $42/$32 student membership to ACM/IEEE

Just so you guys know, IEEE added some 2013 stuff, such as Project, Visio, Access, Lync, InfoPath, and so forth.

Anyone have a license for Win 7 Pro 64-bit that they want to swap for a Win 8 Pro 64-bit license? PM me.

EDIT - Swap complete!

Where is the best place to get the Academic Office 365?

Heads up for anyone with an ACM account!

It appears they've added a English-Great Britain windows 8 key and I had no problems downloading it even after having received 4 keys off ACM (2 english, 2 french). This made it a 5th key.

It's the 32/64 bit version mix (meaning it's good for either windows 8 type).

Windows 8 is gone at IEEE?

IIRC, it got pulled...yes.

That's been there since December, when the French disappeared. We late-comers only got two keys from ACM (1 Am. Eng and 1 GB Eng). Still great news for early-folk, though! I just wish French or another key would come back so I can get my last computer on 8.

And 32-bit keys will activate x64 and vice-versa; it doesn't need to be a specifically "32/64"; in fact, that lets them offer one key, where previously they'd offer a 32 and 64 (for a total of two keys.)

There is Microsoft Server 2012 which can act a lot like Windows 8. I will be installing that on my system with the help of this site.

Doesnt look like i can DL the ENG-GB one. says

I just checked back to see any updates and sure enough I got another key for Win8 32/64 from ACM post it in last year December.

Does ACM members still have access to Windows 8 on dreamspark? I got the IEEE membership a while back and it does not include Windows 8 anymore.

bump for the same question as home1750. OR... anybody want to split the cost of their membership with me and fork over a windows 8 x64 key?

Yes Windows 8 is still up on ACM. I just double checked.

Hi
Can I get windows 8 if i sign up for $19 ACM membership.
If YES, how long do I have to wait for dreamspark account ?

Thanks
