remember technet plus is not for use; only evaluation. MSDN or MAPS or DREAMSPARK or BIZSPARK or EMPOWER are choices if you want to not be mr. pir8 and use their software.

Some people take longer to "evaluate" then others.

Any IT person could easily justify using this. Even on my main computer i'm still evaluating and testing new software constantly. Now, if you go and start using the keys to load up computers for grandma and your friends...harder to justify. But it beats getting your software from a torrent.

MS has been e-mailing me for feedback on the Windows 7 release candidate that I downloaded. However, I cannot offer feedback because the ISO I burned on DVD won't boot on the PC I built for the purpose. I wanted to try W7 so I can decide whether to spring for the $50 upgrade special or not.

Um, what's this got to do with this thread, some might wonder. Dunno either, but you guys are being creative with "loopholes" so I thought I'd throw this in the mix about "evaluations".

Besides, loopholes aren't necessarily evil. Sometimes, they're thrown in there for a reason...

Thanks a lot! Good idea!

acadiel said: TMSAM01 worked fine on a renewal - bumped it down from $249.99 to $187.49.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work once an existing subscription reaches "expired" status (one month after subscription end date). The option to renew is taken away.

So many thx to OP & acadiel. TMSAM01 works if you're renewing, just got for $201 with Taxes.

Topmoo

Anyone else getting this error message?

"The item you have attempted to order has been retired.
This page will redirect to http://www.microsoft.com in 10 seconds."

Curious... say my subscription ends 9/15/09. If I renew today, will my subscription for next year then end on 7/21/10?

Thanks guys. I called in to confirm the subscription expiration and it is in fact another full year extended. Additionally, I inquired of the original cost and I paid $225.xx for the first year. I'm going to go ahead and renew the subscription at $203 (after tax) for another year.

Thanks OP, good to see I can get DOS 6.22

Just got my renewal notice yesterday in the mail, the code TMSAM01 is still working, just renewed for the $187.49, plus tax.

Thanks!

any new August deals for new accounts?

Just got a call, left message indicating that my subscription had expired months ago and we're offering renewal pricing..... Hmmmmm.....

amheck said: Can you install Win7 RTM (which I think is available this week on TechNet) on 2-3 PC's for evaluation? Are you suppose to uninstall the software after your year expires? Do they have anyway to check to make sure that happened?

Strictly speaking, a TechNet subscription is for evaluation only. You are not suppose to use these software in a productive environment such as work.

You don't have t uninstall them after your subscription expires, after all everything you have access to on TechNet are actually FULL version as far as Microsoft's concern, it's only the EULA is different than buying them off the shelf. So you can use them as far as you want, and as long as not in a productive environment, after all the agreement you agreed to are for evaluation only, but hey, who cares really.

Great for gray area.

amheck said: Yes, it does seem pretty gray, doesn't it.

People "evaluating" these at home, I assume?

Thing is, as far as Microsoft's concern, it's ALL FULL version as if you bought them off the shelf. The only limit is the agreement you agreed to between you and Microsoft. But then again unless Microsoft send someone to your location and ask for a paper copy of the license (if you bought them off the shelf) or the agreements (if you have a licensing agreement with them), they can't figure out if these copies are actually bundled with a retail or TechNet license because the keys you use are full product keys.

Besides, as far as Microsoft's concern, it's still better than pirate copies, and you get to use as much as you want for a low yearly fee. It's a win-win situation.

Best coupon is currently is 25% off

My subscription expired in March 09 and I just tried to renew but it says that there are no active subscriptions to renew. Is there a time limit on how long you have to renew and once you pass that time you need to purchase a full subscription again?

Funny thing is though that Microsoft just left a voice mail today offering special renewal pricing. So I guess I need to call and can't do it online...

Can the promo codes be used on phone renewals?

One last thing; does the expiration date for the renewal get set to a year from the date I renew or is it a year from my original expiration date?

if thats the case, u can sue MS like people sued Costco

It's not the case, renewal extends it one year, so the expiration would be 9/15/10.

nickmdeal said: R there any renewal codes? I let it expire, but now starting a new project and want to test out dynamics and such. Can't seem to get any of the codes to work for renewal.

Can't renew if you let it expire. Atleast it's not letting me.
