A question about MSDNAA

[maxsquared]

Hi

I just noticed my uni is on MSDNAA list (btw, no one seems to mentioned this before, but you can actually check if your uni is on msdnaa's list by going to msdnaa's website), and it has vista business. Questions here:

After I download the software, will they email me the sn or do I need to get it from uni? Is the version retail? Does it come with 32bit or 64bit or both?

Many thanks for your help.

Only Vista Business N (N means no media edition) x86 is available through MSDN AA. When you add vista to your cart, and download it.. you will be able to see your key under "My Software".

Well, it's up to the site coordinator to determine what edition appears on MSDNAA at your site. Most people here would offer Business, where as people in the EU might feel better offering Business N to students. Site coordinators get some pretty cool stuff that students do not ;). So it all depends on how your university's MSDNAA site coordinator runs the show!

Keys are usually given out either by the IT staff at the uni, or distributed electronically along with the download.

Anyone know the correct md5sum or cksum of the dvd iso file? I burnt the iso many times, but it fails to install saying it is corrupted.
