It seems that technet s still worth after M$$ reduced the keys that users receive. But who can assure that technet service wont be limited again in the future. At the moment pirates dont have to buy technet account to crack windows or other m$$ products.They could just blocked the accounts who sold 1 key to 1xxxx ppl. I think m$$ just will lose a great number of current customers.Because m$$ unnerve its customers
Still, I think most of the people complaining about this change is people that is not companies, but normal pc users who wants to save money on MS products and/or get licenses and 100% clean .iso files to all MS software for almost nothing ($199 (Technet Standard) or $261 with a promo code for Technet Pro). And no, "normal" pirates do not need Technet or MSDN, they used loaders and RemoveWAT, BIOS mods etc. But people that sells "fake" Technet/MSDN licenses to other to make money, that the real pirates, and thats the reason why MS have made the changes to the terms, and not you and me.
I am trying to get pro subscription 3 days ago , no use . Always somthing goes wrong . sometimes i get this error : An Error Has Occurred There was an unexpected error while retrieving your benefit data and we cannot process your request. Sometimes - advise to contact my card company . I made a call to bank company , they told me : no problem with my card at all. Any one knows if there is a problem with microsoft sites. Should i wait . The code is valid only to end this month for pro. suscription . Thanks.
so are we 100% sure the keys we already got from technet in the past (i took ALL of my keys within months of getting the subscription) will still be good. to re-phrase what i guess i mean is say i downloaded 10 premium keys but so far have only actually used 5 of those i have all 10 but only 5 have actually been used on a machine do they then kill the other unused 5 (remember i have all 10 already but only 5 activated)
Whatever have been claimed will always work subject to anti-piracy!!!. That means all 10 or all 8 or all 5 (whatever you claimed). Forever. If you had claimed 4 before the new rules came in, you would have been able to claim only 1 more (for a technet pro). If you had claimed say 10, you will see 10/5 but all 10 keys will work forever. Login in to technet account and see the subscription faq. I think Mykhen has also posted a link.
i still use loaders even though i got my windows 7 from MSDNAA,with original key..but MS still detect it as non-genuine..
to answer you question..I did a fresh installed (with MSDNAA key)..actually i did post a thread on this sevenforums...unsolved..so, i decided to do another fresh install with Daz Loader
The cheapest way to get Technet is to buy Technet Standard, and they will never have any promo codes for Technet Standard. So $199 is the cheapest you can get. I have not found any promo code for Technet Pro, normally they give out 25-28% coupons. Got a new Technet Flash mail today, but no promo code there. Where do you live? 90% av the time the promo code is only valid in the US and Canada, and this summer Microsoft blocked all foreign credit cards in the US. So if you don't live in the US or have a US issued credit card, you can forget to buy a subscription there. If you already have an account in the US from before the changes this summer, you can renew your subscription with a foreign credit card. But thats not the case for you. I will post any promo code so fast I get one...
Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like I'll have to wait until some more promo codes come out for Technet Pro. BTW: I'm in the U.S..
I saw that there are N versions of Windows 7 available thru Technet. Does anyone know if you can get 2 keys for each of these version of these products with a Standard Subscription?
MS removing excess keys from Technet accts Ok I know that MS lowered the # of available keys from 10 to 5 & if you had already claimed all 10, they could still be used. When I looked at my acct at the time they did this, it showed for me 10/5 (for keys available). However today I went to see if there was anything new added & saw that my acct now shows 5/5. Just an FYI
