Free one year subscription to Microsoft technet
- Thread starter moremoney
- Start date
I can't see how this move will do anything other than backfire on MS. I mean, free full retail keys and software? Did they just hope that everyone will be honest and only use it for evaluation purposes before promptly going out and buying copies? They're just gonna get hammered by freeloaders who don't like to pay for anything. Unless I'm missing something here, I don't understand the business reasons for this at all.The more people that use Microsoft products, the less people will be likely to change over to alternatives such as Macs or Linux.

That's what I thought as well, will give it another try soon but not looking likely today I think
As with all good deals there are always idiots around who go and abuse the system, seen talk of people downloading 100+ keys. Fair enough take advantage for your own use but some people getting too carried away with these things.

They are retail keys -
If there's any doubt I was a trial subscriber back in 2007 and they were also full retail keys back then too.

From reading around the net it now seems like this was an epic mistake on Microsofts part. You are only supposed to get access if you are an invited member of a special program they are running and not a member of the great unwashed like ourselves. Apparently new signups have been stopped and those who have accounts should expect them to stop working in 24 hours time.
Yeah just read that this has been pulled but haven't heard about new subscriptions being revoked? Got a link to that mate? I reckon they should cancel all the codes they have given in the last day as well, too many people taking the mick.
How much does it cost anyway to subscribe to a service like this?

Hello, does anyone know how to re-install this 'Microsoft File Transfer Manager' thing as whenever I try to download something it won't actually download and just have the status as stuck 'Suspended'.
Is that basically saying the servers are getting hammered or something else is wrong?

I wonder if you do use it and then cancel your subscription after a year whether your license gets cancelled as well? Cost me like £160 for the Retail version of Ultimate at the time so this might be worth it. Get it around November time and hopefully be able to nab Office 2010 the year after
