Everyone with a universal subscription was switched to Professional edition.
There is then a process (differs depending on your region) to transition
your account to one of the Team Edition for* editions - e.g. Tester,
Developer, Architect. See here for details:-

The full Team Suite version is now part of a higher tier subscription - see
the comparison chart here:-

So the best download for you - if you need it right now download
Professional. Then submit your transition choice to receive the specific
Team Edition for * edition that most suits you. If you can wait before
installing do this first, it will take a day or two for your account to be
updated. Also your transition choice is important to do as soon as you can
as it will also affect the version sent to you on CD/DVD.
Avoid Team Suite Release Candidate as this is a pre-release version,
although fairly close to the release version it's still effectively a beta
product, you certainly shouldn't use it to write production code.
