Thanks Greg, sounds like something I will do. I would like to have some licensed VMs to test new software although my favorite VM for 32 bit stuff is my old Win2k

Most items available have 10 licenses. That doesn't always mean 10 keys--some keys are multiple-activation, and some keys are static (w/o activation). Some products are pre-pidded and have no keys, but the license limit still applies. The license is for non-production only. That means that you are only permitted to use the software for testing and lab purposes. Using a license for your workstation you use for regular use would be against the license terms. There are no testing or reporting obligations. The software is not time-bombed or constrained in any way. My understanding is that your license remains good if you don't re-subscribe, but your keys may no longer activate, and you no longer have access to the downloads and keys site, obviously. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:hardware- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight > Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 12:36 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [H] TechNet Plus Subscription > > > I have been a MS TechNet member for years.
