Microsoft Offering Free Licenses

CyrixInstead

Get your free licence keys from Microsoft Technet after someone seemingly let slip the URL for a free 3 month registration to Microsoft Technet. The full story is on Neowin.

The best thing to do once registered is go to the Downloads section, then click the Product Keys link. It takes a lot of attempts to work properly but when it does it displays all the products you can download and you can click 'Get Key' for each one you want.

You will have to retry lots and lots of times as I think half the internet is hammering the site, but persevere and they will appear!

I already have one a TechNet subscription, but I'm trying to see if I can access this and get it to work. What a great resource even if its just for 3 months. I wonder if I can get a license to Dynamics AX and "simulate" a manufacturing company from my garage.

I was able to access it, go into order page, but when trying place the order, it would error out. Looks like its been removed.

A real shame. I got 10 Windows XP licence keys, 10 Vista Ultimate keys, 10 Office Ultimate keys, and one Home Server key. Took me about 500 attempts but I managed it in the end!
