I tried logging in with my work account, on subscription, and it says I don't have access to the forums?

The sign up for the Beta program is separate from the SW subscription.

Go to your Customer Portal > My Profile and select the Early Visibility and Beta options.

Do you have to answer the email? That's on my work address and I'm not at the office, damn this sucks.

I don't remember having to answer an email, but I joined the program several versions ago, so may not remember accurately.

Just signing up for the Beta program within your profile should give you access to the download and forum.

In the regular forum, do you see any posts from the Beta discussion group? If yes, are you able to read them?

Colin,

Just sign up to be notified of the Beta program and you will be able to download it.

You don't have to participate in the Beta testing, nor even download the Beta software ... just sign up.

You will also have access to the Beta forums to see what's going on.

I invite as many people as possible to sign up for the 2012 Beta (links in previous postings on this thread). It's a great way to see what's coming for the next version. It also gives you a chance to find any changes you might experience to your user experience as a result of improvements to the software.
