If i download Visual Studio 2012 RC from MSDNAA (dreamspark) today, will it just be a upgrade later or will I have to reinstall everything when it's released in September?

If you know which edition (Ultimate/Premium/Professional) you'll be getting, just get the 90 day evaluation version of the release version for now, and enter your actual key in September.

  • Ok, thank you. But is this the final version and not the RC? It sounds strange to me that the trial version of a program is released before the actual program itself. – Filip Nilsson Aug 25 '12 at 21:56
  • @HerrNilsson As strange as it may be, yes, [that is the release version](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2012/08/15/visual-studio-2012-rtw.aspx). – Joachim Isaksson Aug 25 '12 at 22:09
