Has anyone tried the 64 bit vista in the action pack? Is it an upgrade or full product? Cheers

 

Just tried it and its the full install, activated first time

 

Action pack?? what do you mean action pack? what OS have you upgraded from?

 

Thanks for the link Sparky Does this mean Raffaz has taken a course and if so what did it cost?

 

Oh well, that's what it said on the website under the enrol bit, although at the moment i am having trouble reading the web page. i have got a stinking cold and accidently rubbed some Vicks into my eye...boy does it sting!

 

I think the tests are in place now, so you might have to do one to get the pack UCM.

 

As mentioned elsewhere on the forum about the action pack, I think BM mentioned that he was looking at getting a Technet Plus Direct subscription. I've also been looking at this and see the same benefits without the mandatory training courses. The problem is that I think that it costs a little more, for me about 100 francs more. With the Technet Plus Direct you also have to download the software but with the Technet Plus Single User you get the content on CD/DVD. I don't know that it's worth 400 francs more (in my case) just to have it on cd.

It might be something else for you all to look at.

 

Don't forget to add the Technet Plus Direct $100 off code

Don't know about you folks across the big pond...hopefully it works for you too

 

man if all the CF members put a few quid in, attached there MCP ids to a partner account, and did some random client work for references.. we could just get Gold partner status, get free MSDN Universal subscriptions and free VLKs lol

 

Any of you guys know what the difference is between the Action Pack and Technet? I've currently got the Technet Plus Direct and it's coming up to renewal time, and if the AP is better I'll probably change.

Cheers

With the Action Pack, they send you the CDs/DVDs (and a binder to put them in). They give you 10 licenses for each client-based app and OS, and 1 license for each server-based app and OS. However... the only Vista they include is an upgrade version of Vista Business. Pity the poor soul who doesn't have an extra copy of XP lying around to upgrade! Plus, with Vista Business, you can't work with ANY of the things that come in Vista Home Premium (media stuff) or Ultimate.

With TechNet Plus Direct, you have to download the images and burn them to CD/DVD. The licenses, as far as I am aware, are unlimited. And best of all, EVERY version of Vista are included - full versions, not upgrades. At least, this is what I've been told by someone who currently has TechNet Direct.

Both restrict you to using the software for use in a non-production environment... meaning, you can't use it to host an external Web site, but you can use it to train yourself on an internal Web site.

 

Yeah, BM, there's 1 iso for Vista that includes all versions sans Enterprise -- that's a separate iso.

 

Yep... and keys for each version. Wish they included those for the Action Pack's Vista...

 

Cheers for the info BM. I think I'll stick with TechNet.
