When i open it in Mavericks it says "you need to update to.... work i yosemite" or something like that, then it will bring you to a download page to get a newer feedback assistant

I redeemed my code but no copy of Yosemite is presented in the App Store. Where do you download it?

The bug reporting program doesn't seem to be working. Once you put in your apple id and pass, it gives an error each time you try and log in.
Leave the beta program and sign back up.

As soon as you redeem it starts downloading, look in Launchpad.

Writing this from Yosemite.
Wow. I am running it now. It is awesome of course. It seems very stable, what do you guys think about installing it as my main OS. I have everything backed up....and I am not relying on it for any production, it is mainly for fun; yes its my only Mac, but the most work I do on it is make youtube videos in iMovie and i don't have a pro channel with thousands of subscribers or anything. What do u guys think?

I never got an email. I just logged into the appleseed site and was given a code to redeem in the MAS.

Also, and sorry for the double post, does anyone know how I can create a partition for this?

The file should be called install OS X Mavericks and it will auto mount..It is located in the applications folder.
Just eject it then copy it to an external drive. Then install the one in the applications folder.
I keep refreshing the page every 10 minutes or so 🙁 Hope i get an email soon so I dont have to keep checking the page. Signed up when it was announced.
Hate to be that guy but I'm gonna say it anyways. OS X isn't like iOS where it needs a registered UDID to install a beta. You could just torrent the developer preview and get the same updates as them...
How easy it it to get updates when in the DP? Will they appear in the appstore/updater? Also can i still upgrade to full version without format?

They appear in the Mac app store like regular updates and install without incident. Yes you'll get the update to the gold master as well.
Awesome, thanks guys, now i just need to find a full DP4 build, which i found exists just hard to find. Anyway ill shutup about this now.
