technet subscription

[Hans]

Anybody has a Microsoft technet direct subscription and can tell me how it works? I was looking around on their website, and it looks like it's about the same price as a retail Vista, but you get much more then just Vista.
Is technet a yearly subscription fee, and what happens if you only pay for 1 year?

[tired-n-cranky]

Yearly subscription, yes. Technically you are only "legally entitled" to use the software while you have a subscription.

[Hans]

It still looks like a technically good deal...

It is [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] I have one.

And I am correct into assuming you have access/licences to XP, Vista, office as part of such technet subscription, correct?

[tired-n-cranky]

Well, you tell me [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] How about licenses that can be installed/activated up to 10 times each?

[Hans]

Yes, that sounds very interesting indeed.

[Hans]

300 and change.
