Trouble logging into https://developer.mesh-ctp.com?

Running up to Christmas we dished out quite a few new Live Mesh Tokens to people who were waiting in the line.  To sign up for a developer account (enabling you to code against Live Mesh and Live Framework) you needed to visit https://lx.azure.microsoft.com (The Azure Services Developer Portal) and redeem your tokens.

If at this point you tried to get to your Live Desktop on https://developer.mesh-ctp.com and were redirected to the Azure Services Developer Portal automatically, or couldn’t sign in to the CTP Client bits, it was because you hadn’t accepted the CTP Terms of Use (of which it seems there are none at the moment!):

Having accepted the Terms of Use, you will be able to login to https://developer.mesh-ctp.com and see the Live Desktop and also be able to login to the Client Bits:

So that strange behavior is explained and I’ll be chasing the team to iron that little wrinkle out.
