All promo codes I get are from www.retailmenot.com and they are usually only good for the middle tier sub, not the cheapest one (which is the one you want unless you're doing server-grade stuff).

Yep, I have never seen a code for the basic. I don't think we ever will.
Once users like us caught on to TechNet, MS changed it quite a bit as far as sub types. If you want the basic (most of us here) there are no coupon codes. Updated OP to reflect this to avoid future confusion. And sorry for the absence in the thread lately!

Here is the latest news on discount codes for TECHNET
I have been in contact with tech support over at technet to see what the deal is with any more discount codes.
As most of you know, ALL CODES ARE NOW EXTINCT!!! Every single code has been deactivated. They even shut down all the super secret backchannel codes. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Today I received an email from them, and the gist of it goes like this: NO!!! They are going to concentrate their codes to specific voucher programs for technet events in order to truly target IT pro's, and just let everyone else pay full price. For now, the prices stand where they are, however they are likely to increase in the next quarter in order to help drive people to the technet events to get discount vouchers. The good news is that they intend to find ways to get more smaller events off the ground in more places. The bad news is that you would have to actually go to one of these things. Ewww.... If anything changes on the code front I will up date it here. |

I wonder if they have those events in sweden at all. And if they do, I have about 1.000km (about 620 miles) to the place they're bound to have it (Stockholm). Sigh.

For those with active TechNet subs (mine's expired) Microsoft have now released Windows 7 SP1 on TechNet!
Even better, the new ISOs with SP1 integrated are available too.

its not even final yet, so no.
the latest version is RC1 which my windows update just updated me to today. I do not believe SP1 would include beta or RC versions of IE, so its going to have IE8 as default still.

Downloading the .isos from Technet now, 3.09 GB each, getting ~75KB/s, it is going to take awhile.
Anyway, has anyone heard anything about the stand-alone SP1?

I asked before and it's totally cool. You're limited to a number of licenses, I don't remember from the top of my head but you can read it on the page on the comparasion thingy.

No idea, but I just thought about something. Are they MSDN licenses? What does the second group of the Product ID's look like? Anyone have a technet install ready and can look at it maybe?

Whatever keys you get while your subscription is active you keep, so it will work as long you don't exceed the number of install using the same key.

All that subscription expiry does is remove things like personal support and access to the download of the ISOs. Also, you don't get any keys for new products that come out, of course. This is why you should claim every key for every product before the sub expires. Note that you can continue to log into your TechNet account once it has expired and download a web page with all the claimed keys. Basically, that initial purchase of a TechNet sub is such good value, that it's a no brainer. I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacentre for example and that costs thousands. I can run multiple copies too, all with the same key and all legitimately.

I tried using a key over. It would state that the key is all ready in use and I would need to place another one.. I've had the same subscription for the past two years. About to renew for a third.

10 use limit per key? MS might have changed the number of times you can use a key but I'm guessing you just hit this wall.

Let me make one thing clear here. This is a Microsoft Tech Net Clubhouse, this is not a place to share links, torrents, etc. on how to obtain Microsoft products. Keep things on topic.
