There appears to be one available on the MSDN downloads page at least.



Thanks, but I don't have MSDN :(.


Oh... you silly peasants...

Then again... I only have an MSDN subscription because my previous job STILL hasn't removed me from their lists. Not that I expect them to with the clowns they replaced my previous company with.

Very nice perk to still have.


Scoop up those ISOs while you still can! This happened to me too, but they'll get to yours eventually.


And even more importantly, claim your product keys! And then download those puppies with the Export to XML option in the My Product Keys page.

Note that you can only claim a limited number of keys per day. So don't get carried away claiming all five keys on one product, then all five on the next, etc. You will soon hit your daily limit. Spread your claims out among the products you think you might need until you run out, and then come back the next day to claim more.


I've always wondered what the subscription 'perks' were? All the docs are online, and there are a ton of tuts ... what am I missing?


* "Free" keys * ISO's * Azure allowance per month * Pluralsight videos (not all, 45 hours worth) * Microsoft E-Learning * MSDN Magazine

Other odds and ends...


Visual Studio Enterprise


So nice.


free keys for nearly every MS product


Free = $2,999 per year...


That's why we have Action Pack, which is 360 EUR/year.

Supposedly it should contain Visual Studio too, but I cannot see the isos on the download page. R Studio for Redhat and SuSE, on the other hand... ;)
