Developer subscription *noob question*

[Arjun KR]

If I pay $99 and subscribe for 1 year developer account,then how many devices can be unlocked? assume I have two WP8 devices one with 512mb RAM and other with 1GB,I want to test my apps on both the devices,do I need to get another developer account for second device?

Nope, you don't need another account. You can unlock and use three devices with one developer account. You can remove unlocked devices and switch it to another device.

BUT! I believe the developer program is still on sale for only $19.99 from MS OR you can pay $100 to Nokia which gives you a developer subscription and 1 year of Telerik controls... Might want to weigh your options, pay less going direct to MS or pay more to Nokia and get the controls free for a year. Just a thought.

I opted for the first year as as normal WP developer. Then I enrolled to become a Nokia developer which is free.

You have to pay 76Euros to become a Nokia Premium developer. I tried paying thrice and it failed, finally they gave a free PDP account to me after my rant.

I actually got a free Nokia Premium Developer account when I signed up for their Nokia Ad Exchange program. Since I have an existing developer account, when it expires I can renew it for free. I'm not sure whether Nokia is still running this promotion or not but it doesn't hurt to sign up for the free program anyway.
