Yeah no doubt, score of the week? Best score ever. We'll be talking about this for years.

And I thought getting a TNT2 Ultra for $99 was an awesome deal.

kyle2020 · Jun 3, 2009

saying that, I just got 5 for Office Ultimate '07. lol.

Just keep trying it every 5 minutes or so, going for some for 32 and 64 bit vista now, then XP . . .

vista 32 and 64 use the same keys, btw.

Windows Server 2008 R2. Essentially it's Windows 7 Server

2008 is based on Vista SP1, 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7. Not sure what R2 is an abbreviation of, probably Release 2 or something.

Mussels · Jun 3, 2009

ah thanks.

well, i have R2 keys

now i guess i just need to download it sometime.

farlex85 · Jun 3, 2009

Still waiting for emails

Darknova · Jun 3, 2009

Yey! I have a 2008 R2 key ^_^

kyle2020 · Jun 3, 2009

Lol, I have a notepad doc full of keys now

Vista Ultimate = 7 keys
Home premium = 3 keys
Office '07 ultimate = 5 keys
Home basic = 1 key

Going in for the kill on XP now

Lol, I was part of Microsofts Action Pack service for a long time. So I've got 10 keys for every single version of XP every created, as well as Server 2003, Vista Business and Office Xp, 2003 and 2007

Where do I get keys for all this stuff? Everytime I click to get the key it gives me an error.

I've spent the past 5 or 6 minutes clicking the same link to get a Vista Enterprise key and I'm not quite there yet

My advice? Grab a drink, put some music on or watch a film, and keep on clicking!

Studabaker · Jun 3, 2009

You are lucky if you simply get an error when trying to make keys, my friend keeps trying to get a subscription and he's getting an error for that.

Mussels · Jun 3, 2009

and dont forget taht sometimes the click DOES work - the keys just take time to show up.

whatever server MS use to generate valid keys, must be at 102% CPU usage right now

Tell him to make sure he uses IE, I've gotten numerous errors using other browsers but of course w/ their own it works swimmingly.

kyle2020 · Jun 3, 2009

I take it that "XP Professional" is 32 bit? Then obviously "XP Professional x64" is the 64 bit version.

Yeah, XP x64 is based on Server 2003 NOT on XP, so it uses a completely different key.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): I got the my original Vista X64 Ultimate ISO from Technet Plus and still use on some of my rigs along with legit but NFS Office 2007 Suites. The biggest deal out of this if you are into servers is the FREE legit and not time-bombed copy of their Server OSes. This is free for the next 365 days and you will have the chance to renew it for $249 (normally $299) since you're already a subscriber as of today.

This gives you access to MS software over the next year, but what about the software that you download from it? Does it stay active and legit after the year is up? Will the keys I get now still work after the year is up?

I didn't see anyone else asking. Sorry about that. Anyway, thanks guys.

Yes. they are retail keys and will still work.

OP needs to edit the first post and add this stuff in.

It's ok, just remember that they are giving us this free, so just relax and wait for the servers to calm down a bit. Everyone is going to be grabbing as much as they can as fast as they can.
