I dropped Steve Ridley, Manager of Direct Sales at Maxon, an e-mail and he responded quickly and said that I could post this here.
Here’s his response asking about how we should watch for our notification of availability of R14:
R14 is being delivered via email, starting today. You will receive it by September 15 at the latest, but likely much sooner. (The official policy is ‘within 30 days of public release’.)
He also suggested to keep an eye on your spam folder over the next few days until it arrives.
