EDU licensing for Stager

According to Adobe:

Unfortunately, the team uncovered an engineering issue tied to Named User Licensing so Substance 3D apps are not broadly available to all Named User License customers at this time, and the solution will not be available to all such users this academic year. However, I have added ASU to the priority list for access and will keep you updated if anything changes.In the interim, if there are students and faculty who are not able to wait for the issue to be resolved, they can get free access to Substance through the link below, if they create a free Substance account: https://substance3d.adobe.com/education/

As far as I can tell, this simply requests a Substance3D edu license, which does NOT include Stager and doesn't seem to allow accessing any of the Adobe Substance 3D apps through the CC desktop app. I already have that edu license and it only includes Designer, Painter, and Alchemist.  

My question is, how in the world am I supposed to get access to and open Stager? I've been run in circles by Substance's email helpdesk, Adobe doesn't have any ETA other than 'not this year'.What's the solution here, spell it out for me please.
