    The only file that differ from WZT to 90-Days Trial is: vs_ultimate.exe

    They are different.

    Here is MSDN:

    Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 (x86) - DVD (English)
    File Name: en_visual_studio_ultimate_2012_x86_dvd_920947.iso
    Languages: English
    SHA1: 6A2B87BCD336A96AC39CF85348E93E5AF45588EB

    No Key Required for MSDN Release.

    You should NOT need a key if it's a genuine MSDN release. MSDN iso's have what's known as "static activation keys" built in to the installer/iso.

    This means that, upon install, you're either not asked to enter a key, or if you get a dialog for entering a key, it's pre-filled in with the static activation key and you simply clikc "Next" or "Ok" or whatever.

    Static Activation keys are good to register the software without having to go to Microsoft over the internet for activation, and they're good for an unlimited number of activations.

    Is the MSDN release of ultimate (with SHA1 hash of: 6A2B87BCD336A96AC39CF85348E93E5AF45588EB) available for download anywhere?

    This is strange. WZT says "this is original files.". I'm waiting for the final result.

    I have the "orginal files" WZT rtm (the one which contains one big .rar file) released about 2 weeks ago. anyway to make that the MDSN one.

    I still can't belive the mdsn offical iso hasn't leaked anywere yet. been searching for it since it came out now 2 days ago. can only find the trial iso which
    is hosted on microsoft's webpage.
