Windows 8 Now on Dreamspark Premium

[ComputerBox34]

Just figured I'd give fellow students a heads up.

It also looks like MS Visual Studio 2012 has also been released.

Keep in mind that you need to be a Science/Engineering/Comp. Science student to be given access to Dreamspark Premium. You also might need to go through your IT department.

No. From what it looks like, the RP and Pro versions are different products.

It might be a bug is MS's system. You should try calling them

any idea where to get the number?

The number it gives me is actually the number for my IT department.

On the top right, click Help. Scroll to the bottom and click Contact Us

I'm having the same issue. I previously downloaded the 64-bit consumer preview. I'm able to add the 32-bit product to my cart, but not the 64-bit version.

The error is "The item cannot be added to your cart because you have already ordered this item (or a related item) and cannot order it again. You can view your previous order by clicking Your Account above. Download orders can be re-downloaded from there."

Are those of you without errors able to get two serials, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit, or just one?

If it's like Windows 7, though, the licenses are interchangeable. Is there a legal place to download the 64-bit ISO? Then I could just check out with the 32-bit version.

Sounds like a bug in MS's system.

Looks like it's already been fixed. I was able to check out with both versions of Windows 8 this morning. I don't think it was a manual override since I haven't received a response to my support ticket.
