MSDN AA Administrators that access downloads and product keys via http://msdn2.microsoft.com/subscriptions will also see all the new functionality.

Note: Product keys depicted in screen shots of walkthrough have been modified and are not "real" product keys. I will add a note to the pages tomorrow, but I appreciate someone asking me about that - thanks!

The MSDN Magazine (print delivery) in Canada (and elswehere outside of the US) does not have a subscription cost FOR SUBSCRIBERS, but does incur shipping costs from the US.

To set this up, go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/subscriptions and sign in to Windows Live ID and go to the "Manage My Subscription" page. The last link in the benefit list will launch you off to the magazine distribution site. BE SURE YOU ALLOW POP UPS at least temporarily to get there. You can also click the Magazine link from the Subscriptions Home Page, but again allow pop ups.

Would it be possible to keep the old versions of software on MSDN available for download? Every once in a while, we get a request to recover some piece of data, or want to test some procedure on an old version of Windows, but it seems that this software (e.g. Exchange 2000, Windows 2000) has been pulled from MSDN subscriber downloads, around the time that 2007 editions started appearing. Yeah, we can probably find a copy of most of this somewhere, but it would be a lot nicer to have this all still on MSDN.

Just a thought.

Does this apply TechNet Subscriber Downloads as well?

Joe - generally we do keep older versions of software available on subscriber downloads, except for cases where we have to remove them for legal reasons like the Java settlement. That is the case for some of the products you have asked about. The MSDN Subscriptions FAQ at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/aa948864.aspx has some information about removed products.

Philipp - yest this applies to TechNet Subcriber Downloads as well.

New Subscriber Downloads and Product Keys UI - coming mid week
