Hi,

I can login to my MSDN account even though the subscription has expired. Notwithstanding, it clearly states that a "Product Key" is not required nor is one available!

My experience has been that once my subscription expired, I could no longer log in to the MSDN site to get my previous product keys.

    VS2013 had a static product key – it just varied depending on the
    edition you wanted to install.

    From memory, if you login to the MSDN subscriber site, you can
    still get access to your old keys (though I could be wrong about that)

    Hi,

    I'm currently in a dispute with Microsoft in that I have been
    unable to "activate" my licence as they claim I have "exceeded" my
    activations.
    All I want to do is move my VS2013 installation from my old PC to
    a new PC.

    My MSDN subscription expired some time ago however I'm supposed to
    have a perpetual licence. At least that's how I understood it.

    They are also adamant that I need a Product Key. Product Keys have
    never been needed/available for VS2013 and above when acquired via
    a MSDN subscription.

    Has any one else ever run into this brick wall?

    Glen.
