Jiri,

I have all the licence keys as I had backups of them I just don't have
access to the media itself for the installation packages.

RE: Download BizSpark Older Licences Software

2014-01-12 Thread Jiri Kosar 
Hi Corneliu,

just an idea, do you have your server backup ? It looks like the key is 
actually stored in registry and the registry is physically a file which you can 
open on another machine using regedt32/import. Maybe you can restore registry 
file, open it and read the key ?

They do it in SQL, but still reading from registry:

Registry file location:

Subject: Download BizSpark Older Licences Software

Morning everyone,

I have a question about downloading licensed software from Microsoft.

We used to be part of the Bizspark program which was very good to us. Part of 
the program we got licences to various software including SQL Server Standard.
Our BizSpark program finished and we exited happily.

However now I just had a hardware failure and I want to reinstall on new 
hardware one of the SQL Servers that was licensed with a BizSpark licence but I 
can't seem to be able to download it any more.
Is this correct? As I understand the licences are perpetual but from what I see 
once you installed it you can't use them any more.

Right?

Thanks,
Corneliu.

2014-01-12 Thread Ken Schaefer 
The licenses might be perpetual, but once your MSDN subscription ends, you no 
longer have access to the download site to download software - only to access 
previously acquired keys.

If you still have the installation media, you can still install without any 
technical limitation

Cheers
Ken
