still nothing.. guess ill call the ACM India Helpline tomorrow and just ask for a refund :(

anyone has an extra code to share ? need one for the ENG 32bit pro edition, already downloaded the iso using the link given by alekh..
 
varkey did you get my PM. I am not sure because the PM system seems to be messed up. There is nothing in my sent folder.

That's because the option is turned off by default. Go to your profile and under General Settings tab, Messaging & Notification, Private Messaging, enable this option:

Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default

Oh and btw posting torrent links for downloading the ISO of the OS is perfectly legal. Or so I was told by the senior moderators here. :P
 
Problem solved :D

Contacted ACM international support (acmhelp@acm.org)..

I got access to Dreamspark, but not able to find the licensing terms and conditions, just to make that its not a timed-limited licensing , specially for the OS ? As for MS Office installation , we can only do it two times :

How many installations can I perform with my Microsoft Office University Product Key?

The Product Key you obtained with your purchase of Microsoft Office University entitles you to perform two installations of the software package.

For download :

How many downloads am I allowed for the same product?

A download is a completely successful downloaded item. You may attempt to download as many times as you want but it will only count as one download when you have successfully completed the download.
By default, you are provided with two downloads, at a minimum, to successfully install the product.
Note The second download is available as a back-up in case you need to re-install the software.
If you require additional downloads, contact support by clicking the Contact Us link at the bottom of the Help page.

I have submitted a request to the support team if OS license terms and installation numbers

EDIT 4
It seems people completely forgot Win xp Pro keys .
Important software available are
Win 8 Pro -- 2 keys
Win XP Pro -- 4keys
Win Vista --
7 keys ( I know nobody wants it but its there nevertheless)

Hey man, can you post the link for the Windows 7 keys ? I'd any day swap Windows 8 for the 7. Would really love to get the genuine Windows 7 key(s).

That is 7 keys for Windows Vista, not Windows 7 keys :P

BY the way Microsoft is giving downgrade right from Windows 8 to windows 7
Downgrade rights -- which let customers replace a newer version of Windows with an older edition without paying for two copies -- are available only in Windows 8 Pro. That fits with previous practice: Only Windows 7 Professional, for instance, was allocated downgrade rights.

You can try contacting MS and see if this Windows 8 license falls in that category.

Holy cow. What has happened to me.

On another note, that downgrade thing looks promising. Let me call these guys tomorrow to check what this is all about.

But it clearly states that only OEM copies are downgradable
Retail versions of win 8 pro omitted this

Any one installed win 8 on another partition with dual boot?

Ours will be retail version
