EA updated the information on the Red Alert announcement page on July 29th, officially declaring that the beta version of Red Alert 3 has been released. The first 2000 applicants for the trial play have been automatically activated, and the next batch will include 10,000 applicants who will gain authorization to participate in the trial play. At the same time, the official Red Alert 3 forum was officially launched. Unfortunately, activating the Red Alert 3 trial version requires a key from Kane's Wrath... EA also provided an alternative method: FilePlanet subscribers will not have to wait in line for the trial play but can immediately start downloading and playing through FilePlanet’s priority download privilege.
