Code will give 40% off either option (direct or DVD) for new subscribers! Straight from San Antonio W2K8 launch event. This is a better deal than the 100 off discussed on fatwallet here.

Windows 2008 launch event is also a hot deal for the free software (W2k8 enterprise w/ hyperV coupon, Visual Studio Standard, SQL 2008)!

Coupon Code: TMSAML06

Good deal, thanks.

Do you know WHEN this code expires? I have been thinking about signing up, but I may prefer to wait a few weeks / months until I'm more heavily into that kind of admin / development / use.

Does this stack with the other code you mentioned or are they mutually exclusive?

I want to build a small lab at home with 1-2 Windows Server 2008 and 2-3 Vista workstations. Can I generate enough license keys to create this environment only using this single TechNet subscription?

Z.

Yes, you can,
My subscription gave me one server license for all server software versions and I got 10 licenses for XP pro and Vista business.
1 for Vista uLT.

A bunch for office, visio etc.
You can request additional licenses..

"Software provided through TechNet Plus is for evaluation purposes and cannot be used in a live production environment."

bummer!

So I can install Server 2008 on two machines at the same time to play with the new features in AD and TS? That would be great... I was worried that I need to redo this setting each time my trial would expire...

Darn it...just renewed my Action Pack subscription. This would have been much better. I really want Home Server for my, uh-hum, evaluation purposes for "customers."

If one did the 'download' method, any idea how much space would be needed? Does anyone have experience with this method and know the speed/reliablilty of the download process?
Thanks

I don't think Home Server is included.

you download the ISO images on a per-application basis. Usually they are between 300MB to several gigabytes (server DVDs). Then you burn them on media or use another program to extract or mount your ISO file. You should have cable or at least DSL and download over night. Comcast cable is between 3-6Mbit/sec = 300-600kByte/sec. Thus it'll take between 15min for 300MB and 4 hours for a full DVD image. They use a browser plugin, which can queue and parallel download multiple applications . I found it very reliable and it can resume after a connection was lost (usually doesn't happen) without having to start from scratch again. After logging in you'll have access to a webpage where you can check out your personal license keys to activate the products. It tells you exactly which keys you have used and how many are left. Many applications don't even require a license key. It's awesome.

TechNet noob here, I've read through a dozen pages of TechNet FAQ's, EULA's, etc. and still have questions:

"full-version software available for evaluation without time limits."
Truly, no time limits? 3 years from now, and 2 years after my TechNet subscription has expired, the software will still get updated on Windows Update, etc.?

Lets say that I need a few licenses for XP or Vista, etc., I only need to download the ISO a single time, correct? (The additional licenses will activate on the generic ISO, right?)

Thanks in advance.
