I'm a bit curious how you have managed to get it for free for a year and to be able to hand them out - it is £234 on the website usually.

This is amazing, what is the catch?

I trust the licenses expire when the subscription does?

If it's like MSDN, the 'license' to use the products will expire after a year, but the keys will continue to function...

What happens when the licence expires? I assume the software will cease to function?

NathanE confirms they are only trial keys:

Downloading now vista sp2 iso, will be quicker to install rather than my current vista + sp2 separately.

I've done a little digging through Google and it seems that this is a TechNet pilot...

I am now hearing that this is part of a pilot program that is set to expire on September 30, 2009, which means it's more of a three month deal, but hey, free is free! Currently, the expiration date reads "1/1/1900" but Microsoft is working on fixing that.

How long does a trial key last?
