Can you put in a complaint under Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

Basically they are failing to honour your original agreement.

So ask for a refund/replacement under ACL.

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.

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.

You are correct. I can log in to my MSDN account even though my
subscription has expired. But every page says "Your subscription has
expired" and I can't access the product keys that I previously used nor
download anything.
Seems like you are in a bind for as long as your dispute with Microsoft
remains unresolved. I wish I could help you more.

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!

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)
