It's a good deal...the keys will NOT expire when your sub ends !

If it is anything like MAPS (Microsoft Action Pak), you are supposed to
uninstall all software when the year's subscription expires. I am not sure
if the actually de-active the numbers since all members share the numbers.
They screwed up my MAPS subscription last year and thought that I had not
renewed and sent me a letter telling me to uninstall all software, but my
software was still working and I didn't see any issues that would indicate
that the software had been put on a list of any kind to be de-activated.

After three years I think I am going to let my MS Technet subscription
lapse
this year, maybe pick it up again next year. If nothing else I am curious
to see
if they come back at me with a better offer.. like a magazine
subscription.
What happens when you do this... anybody know... will it effect my
installed
keys or keys I have that haven't been installed yet?
thanks
