Exact Product Difference Between Technet Standard And Pro
Jun 23, 2010
There is a new level of Technet called Standard which is available for $199 for 1st year subscribers...versus the typical $349 that MS charges for Technet Professional.If you are concerned about what comes with which version, this link is VERY SPECIFIC and lists every product you get with each. You will see that it's only a handful of "enterprise" versions of most things which are excluded;URL.If you do want the Professional subscription the promo code that is valid on it until end of July 2010 is TNWNF
I am a Technet Plus subscriber and thus have 10 keys for each version of windows 7.
In short my question is, for Windows 7 Ultimate, Once you activate 1 key, Can you activate it again without calling microsoft to "unlock" you?
I have formatted my machine numerous times testing and developing for windows 7, and I have run out of keys since I used a new one each time I formatted. Now, I would like to format again and use a key I have previously used, but before I do I just want to know if I can activate the key online? or will I have to call MS? (which is fine but am overseas and need to coordinate the call back the the states)
Are there any other technet promo codes. trying to use TEYFY09 but its not working... guess it expired at midnight of the 2nd. sucks.. got paid today and was gonna get technet today ... now i cant afford it
I have several computers still running the RC version of win7 and I am trying to pick the most cost effective option for installing legit version.
I had first thought to get the 3key Family Pack, but have obviously far missed my window of opportunity on that option.
I rebuild and test new computer equipment frequently, so I don't want to use a OEM version that is limited to one activation (unless that's changed?)
I've heard mixed info that the retail version is good for 10 activations, is that for 1 PC or multiple PCs running at the same time?
I tend to run 3-4 towers at once at minimum in my home so I need to know if I need separate keys for each PC I am running. Are the activations good, if I make hardware changes to my PC? Swapping motherboards is always a concern so I don't want to be shelling out for a new copy every time I try out a new board.
I have heard that a technet subscription might be an option for me, but I am concerned my use of the 'Evaluation Copy' software isn't really part of the license agreement. I wouldn't be evaluating the windows software, it's normally my hardware I am evaluating.
Can someone give me more infomation on how the Technet accounts work?
I know if I need different keys for each of my PCs then I would probably need 6-7 keys, I don't mind paying $300 a year for a technet subsribtion if my use of it won't be a problem. But I don't want to shell out $300 only to find out should have bought the retail version instead. And then again if the retail version is good for 10 activations, and I can use it on multiple PCs at once, that would also work for me.
I read an article in here a month or more ago that had discount codes for North American subscriptions. Unfortunately those codes all expired.
I am wondering if anyone else has come across a promotional code for TechNet recently that's valid. If you have you could please either PM me or post as a reply?
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate just fine on my Dell GX270, although I still need a new PCI graphics card. I select Custom so I could do a clean install. But it left all my files on the C: drive. I wanted to format the drive first. Problem is the TechNet Windows 7 Ultimate DVD won't boot.
What is my next best selection? Searches for boot cd's looked too complicated to build.
I am running a Packard Bell desktop,model BV ixtremeX9610 with Win7 home premium. A couple of times I have fired it up and the displayed time in the task bar has been wrong. Also have a clock widget on the desktop page which is about 5 hours out. Emails have time stamps which are way out. This sounds like a CMOS battery problem to me, but when I asked a 'Tech guy' from Packard Bell and enquired which battery type I need he assured me that the machine didn't have one! I have reset the clock using the bios - but the widget clock is still wrong.Time zones checked, OK. Must admit, haven't actually checked motherboard yet, but feel sure there MUST be a CMOS battery there.
My problem is when i select gpu id software it shows everything normal and it shows you have ati radeon 5770 and shows u have 1gb but when i check my system online with srtest.com or even i open dxdiag through the windows run panel in the display settings i got approx 701mb memory of gpu memory. I don't what is that and also my windows experience score down a little bit. I hv already done a clean installation of windows 7 ultimate but nothing happen. and also i have 8gb ram ddr3
I really must restore my PC to last night. I only gives me an option of either two days ago or earlier this morning though. How can I restore that exact time?
I have a burnt up motherboard in my laptop. My question is do I have to match the exact model to the one that is in there already inside? Or can I get one alittle cheaper? The one that is inside is around $200, and I was hoping to spend a bit less.Me and hubby can replace and change out anything on a desktop, and even build one from scratch.But laptops aren't our thing.This one is an ASUS K52F REV 2.0. Any suggestions, or do I have to match it up with what is factory?
I recently bought a USB 3 flash drive and was curious why I was only getting 32mb/sec read and about 20mb/sec write speed. Could it be that my usb 3 slots are not really usb 3?
Is it safe to burn a Windows 7 installation ISO image using the 'exact copy' option, meaning making an exact duplicate from an already existing CD. Or is it safer to burn a CD from the original ISO file? Wouldn't the 'exact copy' option have higher chances for data corruption, especially since it is a boot/installation CD?
I am trying to get 15 monitors working on my system. I have a gigabyte GA990fxaud5 motherboard with amd fx 8150, 8 core CPU and 16 gb dual channel Kingston ram. I also have 4x firepro 2450 video cards 3 of x16 here: NTI--ATI FirePro 2450 PCI Express. 4 Display Video card.and 1 of x1 here: NTI--ATI FirePro 2450 PCI Express. 4 Display Video card.I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit I have 2 of the x16 cards installed and its working fine and it takes me to a black screen that says "loading operating system" and then everything else goes smooth and takes me to the windows os. When I run the system with these 2 video cards everything runs perfectly and I can get 8 outputs. The problem is, when I put the third card in the system, the system boots, gets passed the bios (where I can press esc to access bios) but then it takes me to a black screen with no further activity. It's when I place the third card in, is when this black screen occurs without having any message.Maybe the systems confused with this third card. Maybe it's something in windows 7 settings. Or maybe bios.I have installed this exact firepro driver: ATI FireGL?Do I need to have SLI or CrossFire to run multiple video cards? How do i do that for these video cards I have?What are the settings in the BIOS that will enable these 4 video cards.The expansion slots on the mb are compatible with the 4 cards and it does have enough grunt to handle these cards, but it's now getting all 4 cards to operate together on the os.
the time in the taskbar goes back one hour after restart. When readjusting it to the exacttime, the radio button 'apply" is greyed out and does not react when clicked. The adjustedtime remains ok until restart when it goes back one hour again
When you upgrade from a previously installed windows program such as XP to Vista or to Windows 7. What happens to the old product key? Is it just over written? Does it just go into limbo?
Why am I suddenly being asked for a product key when I open a word document now I have upgraded to windows 7 from Vista. Have never been asked for a key before and don't have one since it came pre-installed
I was about to make some custom Start Orbs. I was wandering what was the difference between BMP and PNG when it came to Start Orbs. Would it even matter which one you used? Because I usually use the PNG file when choosing my Start Orb. I don't see a difference when using a BMP file though.
I get my Start Orbs from DeviantART. I was wandering, why do people include so many Start Orb PNG and BMP files. For an example in my picture. Is there a diffidence of them?
I am trying to re install windows from my USB however on the installation after 'windows is loading files' it freezes at the 'starting windows' screen (Black screen with windows logo).Would trying a DVD windows be different or is this a separate issue all together.

I lost my product ID and Key and I need to reinstal Malwarebytes. How can I get my product ID & Key? or what is the phone number to call. In addition I changed my e mail after I purchased the product.
Is there any way to recover your product key? I have Win7 retail for 3 computers. I have just installed on the last computer (the first two were installed a year or so ago) and I don't have the product key. I think I tossed it out as it was on a card IN THE BOX rather than a sticker on the end like every other frigin MS product I have seen. I must have saw the card and just tossed it out thinking it was just another ad trying to sell me something else. Seeing the sticker (but not looking close) just assumed it had the product key.
I just downloaded build 7600.16834 iso (x64) and looking at the website below which shows the install screens the RTM version is asking for a product key. Does anyone know what to use as a product key as I only have the RC Keys.
I am sure I have read somewhere that you can skip entering the key and then re-arm the RTM version for 120 days. Is this correct?
I don't want to wipe a perfectly good system only to get to the end of the RTM install where you input the key and be stuck there!
Yes, the product key is unique, but how is the ID created? Is that a pre-determined id for that particular version of Windows 7 or is if unique to the key?
I purchased a copy of Windows 7 professional on-line and downloaded the setup file. When I opened it I was told that: 'to upgrade from one version of Windows 7 to another you need to use Windows anytime upgrade' or something to that effect. So I went to windows anytime upgrade and click on 'I have already purchased a copy of windows 7', then I was prompted to enter the upgrade key. I just entered the Product key because as far as I am aware I haven't got an upgrade key.
The upgrade worked so I assumed I had done the right thing. Can any one confirm that the upgrade key is the same as the product key?
