Don W 4 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Drashna, as for software downloaded from Dreamspark, the option to call in and reactivate is not there. Link to post Share on other sites
nrf 135 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 this raises the question of bare metal server restore - can activation of these dreamspark licenses survive a bare metal restore? I have done client BMR to the same physical disk and they did not require re-activation, I am curious what happens if you have a bad drive and have to BMR... Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think it would survive most recoveries. However, if the hardware changed too much, it might trigger a re-activation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
arbeedub 3 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 just adding to the technet advice here.. Â only those technet agreements (AND renewals) signed/agreed before 16th July 2012 are entitles to perpetual technet licensing. Â If you signed/renewed on or after 16th July 2012, then your technet license usage rights expired on the day your technet subscription ended.

ikon 439 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for that. It's a bit of an odd licencing situation, but at least it now appears to be clear. Link to post Share on other sites
nrf 135 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 that is exactly why I didn't renew at that time - no desire to lose my licenses. Link to post Share on other sites
Drashna Jaelre 159 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm just glad that my TechNet license wasn't renewed after that. One good thing about my MVP award not being renewed, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
