No, didn't pay for it!

This did the trick. Just to download the compiler initially, you don't
need to log in to premier. The confirmation email sends you a URL which
you can use to download it. However, by logging in to premier (a process
which took my registering AND them fixing some bug which still wouldn't
let me log in), I got access to all the latest updates.

Thanks one and all for the help.
