Technet plus vista

Yep, MAKs must be activated and it counts against a total limit for that key. I'd like to know how many times a Technet copy can be activated too. I haven't fooled with the Technet Vista much yet, but I'm starting to fool around with the Technet Server in my test lab. I've begun tinkering with VMs of in Hyper-V There seems to be no issue so far and I've probably created 6 or 8 physical and virtual boxes.

But I'd hate to run into a brick wall at say 10 or whatever without knowing about it. I seem to remember the number being or maybe much higher, but don't quote me. Well, if KMS needs at least 25 hosts, and Technet is limited to 10 activations As I watched in a cool little movie, the first 4 will fail, but 5th? Watch out mother fucker, it's on!

After spending all day on the phone with Microsoft and being transferred around for several hours, it appears that there are quite a number of things that are not explained anywhere that you just have to know.

You read about the different levels of Technet and decide which one you want. I do not know where to do this. I just randomly chose Technet Plus Single User because it was cheap. You call your reseller and buy it.

They send the order to Microsoft. If you are a volume license customer I am , then a section is added in licensing. I did not know what SA meant, but apparently it means "Software Assurance. You would activate this benefit and receive a Benefit Access Number BAN which is a personal code that allows you to access the service.

Because Microsoft did not enable Technet Plus in licensing. Thank you for the link. After reading it, it appears that the situation is even more complicated than I originally thought.

Software Assurance is yet another separate program with several levels. Neither Software Assurance nor the several levels of it are described. There is a tantalizing description, though, that depending on the level you have, you might get a free license of Technet Direct. This is impossible to verify, because there is no description of SA or which level of SA you would need to get this free license of Technet.

Then, you can either purchase Technet directly not to be confused with Technet Direct, which itself is not described , or through SA. But this isn't described either. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question.
