Author Retrieving CD Keys for expired subscription
Daniel Bright

2004-03-28, 10:07 pm

My MSDN universal subscription expired in July of last year. I had backed
up my cd keys before it expired, but due to a hardware failure I have lost
the document. Is there any way that I can retrieve these keys? I know I
haven't even come close to my activation limits on my XP or 2K3 keys, which
is what I am needing the most.

Thank you
Dan Bright

I am having the same issue - expired MSDN subscription and unable to
get product keys. When I Googled for a solution I found a post from
Andy Boyd which said that there was a project in the works to allow
users with expired subscriptions to still get their keys. Of course,
that post was two years old, and people are obviously still having the
same issues.

Due to the lack of progress on this, can I assume that Microsoft has
decided that it's not worth their resources to make the site useful
for their one-time (and potentially future) customers?
