Richard Hammond Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 So what happens once the Technet subscription runs out does the key i generated for Windows or Office get cancelled and the software deactivates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you retain perpetual use rights under the license agreement; your product keys should still activate and validate without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raa Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 You won't receive the first OR other surveys for the Technet sub. The signup link you've (ab)used is merely for the Technet part, not the actual survey. It's highly likely your account will be cancelled in 24 hours, so (ab)use while you can!

Where do I find a link so I can do the surveys? Should they be emailed to me to the address I used to sign up? New SubscriptionsIf this is a new subscription, once processing of your payment is completed, you will receive a second email confirmation. Within 48 hours of the processing of your payment, you will receive a third email with instructions for how to access your online benefits and additional program information. So I should recieve another email in 48 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only getting the Technet sub. I got my email "instantly", you should've too... @djlegion : Why not indeed, it's your conscience after all. ;) I'm good with a few keys, so no need to abuse the system :p Doesn't worry me either way though mate!

GrimReeper Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I was worried initially because of no Aus link but its all working here, i instantly had a nerdgasm lol. It's a pitty I will lose this before Windows 7 goes retail :( Is it unlimited activations just for volume license keys or does it apply to the retail keys as well?

Berserk87 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 ok, so is this legit and we do surveys, or some weird glitch/exploit/employee havok? normally you pay $380 and you get access to ALL of this software?! like...for $380 everyone in my house could be using windows 7 and office 2007 etc....

+ThePhoenix Subscriber² Posted June 3, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 3, 2009 I doubt this will last long guys, these links are not supposed to be for the public, they are used for members of the Technet Plus Pilot Program as part of the signup process (I am a member), it would appear that someone thought it would be nice to leak these links, however please be aware that they have a list of members and that all these unathorised accounts will likely get deleted by Microsoft pretty damn quick. and as for the person who leaked these, shame on you, you may have got your little bit of IT Fame but in doing this you may have spoilt the program for the genuine members who got selected to be part of it. Also the reason the expiry date is set as 1900 is becuase when the signup for the program is complete and you get accepted Microsoft then set a true expiry date on the subscription that expires 12 months after joining the pilot program.

iamwhoiam Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 No, you retain perpetual use rights under the license agreement; your product keys should still activate and validate without any issues. Well, considering that people are creating accounts for this WITHOUT going through the survey site (which has been closed for a while), Microsoft could invalidate all the keys that have been generated. By not doing the survey initially, those Technet subscriptions will be closed in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazuyette Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 i just seem to be stuck on a endless loading loop with a white page after ive logged in with my MSN Passport, anyone else? I'm in the same boat as you mate. I'm using Vista X86 / SP2 with IE8 and my system is fully patched. I'm from france and I'm using the UK link. I hope there's a little workaround :pray: Update : I tried all the links and I end up with an error 500 page coming back in my face. Anyone managed to register ?
