Anyone know if a Technet subscription includes Server 2012 and Exchange 2013

Hi All,

Not sure where to put this question exactly but I just wondered if someone could confirm to me if a UK MS Technet subscription would include the new Server 2012?

I downloaded a file that apprently details all the products included however I get the impression it might be somewhat out of date ...

http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/7/8/C78DB720-88CB-455E-AA0E-A087CB332A23/TechNet_Product_List.xlsx

When you download the file at the very top it implies that it may not be definitive (see screenshot) I went to the link detailed however its still not clear to me.  Does anyone have a Technet subscription and known either way?  I have personally never had a Technet subscription only a MSDN purchased by work, what the differnece exactly?  All I want to really do is build a test domain for a couple of users with Exchange 2013

I believe they made that available sometime in October.  Here is some statements

The list on Microsofts website I believe just has not been updated yet but if you are a TechNet subscriber your list of software should have updated.

Both Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 are available in the US -- can't say for certain whether the UK selections are different.

Here's the first page of downloads for US subscriptions:

Thanks guys,

I downloaded a RTM copy prior to suscribing to technet.  Do you think my technet key will activate the RTM build I downloaded?
Clearly it depends on where you downloaded the RTM.     The only way to find out for sure is to simply try it ==>  I'd image the system first, so you can restore it to it's previous state if changing the key doesn't work.
Thank-you for all your help Gary sorry to be a pain but could I possibly get a screenshot of the precise enterprise rtm version available to you in Technet.  I am going to purchase my subscription just after payday but I want to get building now.

If I can find and download media with the identical name as the media available within your subscription I can be confident my own key will activate it theoretically.  Obviously hide the key if displayed.

Bit of a cheeky request debatably I know but I have good intentions
