MSDN Product Keys

Hi,

I have a computer that had a full set of Vista versions installed, and each
one Ghosted to a .GHO File.

The problem is the motheboard has now stopped working and I think that I may
have lost 5 MSDN keys as each one was activated,
Does anyone have a contact number for Microsoft ? I wish to contact them and
request my keys back if possible as I wish to install on a new Hardware
platform.

Thanks

Gav

Hi Gavin,

MSDN Product Keys are generally good for 10 activations. If you run them
out, log into the MSDN site and go to the support center for contact
information for your location.

You go to the MSDN web site and "sign in". Then you go to subscriber
downloads. The option is there to get the product keys.

I don't know if I'm glad or sorry this came up, I downloaded all
available product keys, lost my HD (my own fault) and never thought
about it until I went into a panic when I saw this thread! The panic
was completely justified, I seem to no longer have the keys, nor am I a
member of the MSDN any longer.

Oh, well, easy come, easy go.... <SIGH> I do have hard copy keys for
most versions of Windows and Office, that should suffice.

You can still get the keys if you were a former member. You need to call MSDN and talk to a live rep and explain. They will look up your account that you had and give you the keys that were posted at the time of your membership. I know I have done the same thing.

Really? That's GREAT to know, thanks! I would never have had the
nerve to try it.
