An email from Apple

Having trouble with the unannounced changes in the Apple Store for Education? Suddenly all institutional users of the Apple Store, attempting to spend the University’s good money on Apple products, were locked out of the system, after some changes had been made in how we authenticate to Apple’s sites. We’ve been pleading with them to put the appropriate instructions on their web site, so people could see it when they need to: when they’re trying unsuccessfully to make a purchase. No go.

However, I just got a message from Apple, with links to a video tutorial, and a phone number to call for help:
