Make sure you are using Internet Explorer, I just tested the site and it worked perfectly. If you don't use IE it will time out. Just a heads up I tried Firefox and Opera and both fail on logging in to verify. Remember you need a new Windows ID everytime you want a new key
Mine keeps timing out also or says service not available. If anyone could PM me a working key, I would be grateful. I also used IE, which is working perferctly otherwise. Regards,
I started out on IE. After several failures I tried Firefox. No joy. Wonder what could be causing this to fail on some folkes? Thanks chianf092

What is a "Windows Live ID" and how do I get it???? Why do I always get while trying to login "Invalid Username or Password" Some more details would be great. I'm totally unable to get a key. Thank you for your help
You can get your own live ID by create a live or hotmail account, then follow the given intructions to get your own keys
edit: I got the msg as I logged in without going the proxy (oops), but I'd still like access to the iso, I couldn't get it to download even through the proxy. Does anyone have a direct link to the visual studio iso from dreamspark, as the trial version doesn't take it, also has a different sha1, as I can no longer download from the dreamspark site, it now gives a msg about being from china and not being allowed to download, I was able to download before though. Thanks.
I was able to get a key ! yay! I used Firefox. You just need to find the right proxy. I also worked some magic as the msdn server wouldnt redirect to the chinese site using the proxy.
Hi, great post but i have a probleme. I can't download the DVD because he said he has detected i'm not in China and when i click on "GET KEY", nothing happens :S I use the right proxy and right live ID but nothing :S Can someone give me a key at elpigeondindo@gmail.com plz ?.
there is a checkbox that says "I have read and agree to the terms of the license agreement", you have to check that first. you can download the server 2008 iso from microsoft directly.
