Author No subscriber ID

I purchased the MSDN OS package, and it arrived last Wednesday. On the
same day I went online and activated the subscription, and got the
"Subscription Activation Successful" screen.

It has now been > 3 business days, and I have not gotten my Subscriber
ID. (it is Tuesday)

Oddly enough, I did get the physical shipment of the MSDN pack, DVDs,
carrying case etc yesterday.

What could be the holdup? I made sure to whitelist any email where the
address contains "microsoft" or "msdn", so its not an errant spam
filter issue.

Is this a known problem? I see several posts of problems with the
subscriber download area.

Is there a number I can call to get this Subscriber ID?

Oh and I did leave a message on MSDN support yesterday (
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...tusMSDN?sd=msdn )
but I have also had no reply from that.

Hi Carey,

I have done both of these things.
