Is this the giveaway for all tracks or just the dev track?

What's the use of the server OS if it cannot be used for production use?

@someone:

Because then you get hooked on all the neato stuff about WS2008 while developing for it and then you have to buy copies of it to use in production. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, Microsoft has a server OS to sell. These events are ultimately about driving software and operating system sales - to the extent of giving away development software so that you can write more software to take advantage of them.

Chris, I am still waiting for the key for the Visual Studio I got at your Installfest event. It has been over 8 weeks since I registered it on vs2008offer.com. Is it possible it was lost in the mail?

Ping, I got an email about shipping info a couple days ago, so you should be getting something soon, if you haven't already. Mine is coming by DHL, and should be delivered Monday.

If you go to the Server 2008, SQL 2008, and Visual Studio 2008 launch event in your area, it looks like you will be getting some Not-For-Resale goodies. 1. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise RTM (64 and 32 bit) with a product key 2. Visual Studio 2008 St

Hey there, I just came from the event but I didn't get that voucher for the RTM version of SQL Server 2008. Where did you get the voucher? Or it is included in the bag package?

Eli, did you get the other 2 software like Chris said?

re: Heroes Happen {Here} - Launch event Giveaways

Eli — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:30:13 GMT

Yeah I did. I did get the RTM Version of Windows Server 2008 but it was a 1 year license only. And I did get a full version of Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Did you get yours?

I just got back from the Launch in New York, we got a NFR Kit with the Windows 2008 Server being labelled as "One Year Evaluation License"..now is this a trial software or is this a full blown software withouh any expiration date.

Thanks

I believe most of the software is trial software that will expire after time.

Any updates on the "One Year Evaluation License" question? Are they really just evaluation copies or does the code provide for a permanent license? I remember with the Office 2007 launch there was an issue with the code, but everyone ended up getting a permanent license.

Thanks!

I went to the VS 2008 Install Fest where I got the trial version with the orange sticker on the back about vs2008offer.com.

I've been waiting for my key but have not received it either.

I just went to the Heroes Happen {Here} event here in Dallas, so I now have a copy of VS2008 STD, but I wonder if there's a way to check on the Install Fest license (that was the PRO version).

If you went to the InstallFest event and got a DVD with a sticker on the back, and were able to log into the appropriate web site before the offer expired and enter your name & mailing address, you should have gotten your DVD by now. If you did not, please mail me your mailing address information and the sticker number off the back of the DVD and I'll check into it for you.

Looks like I'm screwed. I did NOT register the code at the website. I was pretty certain they told us at the InstallFest event that just being at the event and being on the list meant we were going to get the code and we didn't have to register it..

Thanks anyway. Looks like I'll have to stick to VS Std for the forceable future.

I went to the Salt Lake event. They told us that even though the stuff said "one year evaluation license", it would not expire after one year. Something to do with legalities.

I do have a question though. We got the Standard version of VS2008. We also got Windows Mobile 6 Developers Resource Kit. The Mobile DRK for VS2008 only works with the Pro version. Why would they give something away that we are not able to use (without shelling out the $$$ for the Pro version)?

Just tried to register my SQL voucher from the launch event in Tulsa and Tulsa is not a selection on the drop down list for locations so it will not register.

The voucher says to register at www.sqlserverheroes.com.

Hey, any update regarding the "One Year Evaluation License" question I posted previously. While I appreciate the answer from Kevin W, I want someone who went to the NY launch event to verify that for me please.

Thanks
