Actually it depends on what type of MSDN subscription you purchase. I purchased the eOpen volumen license MSDN version with a two year subscription - you only get an email with the login details to the eOpen site (which took about 24hrs before it was activated there) and then I was able to create my MSDN subscription from that.

It's also a lot cheaper than the 'packaged' one year retain MSDN sub.


Yup we did likewise, although we got the 3 year version.

I was just chomping at the bit to get my downloads Smiley
In truth however, ordering Monday afternoon and completed by Friday morning is not really that bad.

And you're right about it being cheap.

I'm not sure people like advertising on C9 but we bought ours from GreyMatter in the uk.

With discounts (applicable in March this year) the cost was ~£309 each user per year payable at the start of each year. ( I forget if that includes local VAT)

A good deal either way.

I have already installed both vista and VS2005.

I have to date recieved nothing through snailmail.

This could not be done until I had the email this morning which then allows me to allocate the benefits associated with our subscription.

I have allocated a set of media to myself and I will update this thread when it arraived so that people can see search against this thread and discover how long the process took for me.

I'm not sure it matters but I am based in the Uk.

Thanks to ZippyV for his help and information

I'm only after a "benefits key" (erm I think).

That should be electronically shippable in mere seconds.

That really blows.

I have (digitally) signed an agreement and I believe I am awaiting a "Welcome Email" but I have no Idea how long this will take or how many more steps there will be.

I am really looking forward to being able to get at the subscriber downloads.

Can anyone tell me how much longer I'm going to have to wait and perhaps how may more steps there are?

Thanks

Rory
