Not too sure about this Raff. I let my sub expire a while back, just before they came up with all that 'partner' shenanigans. I'm considering signing up again in a couple of months, but not sure I'll even qualify for it (I don't do enough private/reselling work to be considered a 'partner' and haven't been a 'system builder' for five years)

 

I think I'm gonna switch to TechNet Plus Direct.

 

I would very much doubt that they even check that this is a real domain, let alone the content.

There's one way to find out!

 

Whats the difference?

I wouldnt know where to start mate

Bit of a risk to take though

 

No annoying hoops to jump through, but you have to download ISOs rather than have CDs shipped to you. I think it's slightly cheaper (in the US, anyway), but I'll have to confirm.

 

Just been lookin seems ok, bit pricier than the action pack, and it costs even more for the media edition.

 

Just had a look at the link with the 20% discount, and the discount code is no longer valid lol (even though it says its valid till end of Feb)

 

Can anyone confirm that the above is correct, so i know its not something else causing this (you dont need to complete the purchase to do this)

 

Just found this promotion code on the site
TechNet Plus Direct (Online)

Please use promotional code TNSAR07.

 

Looks really good, I think I will be getting that soon.

 

Thats the one that isnt working.

 

Hi Raffaz,
I've got a current TN sub and have just asked the Microsoft Online chat bod why the discount code doesn't work and they've told me to tell you to call this number 0800 281 221 to check the code.
Cheers and Happy New Year.

Remember, it's only pricier the first year. Renewals are cheaper, just like the Action Pack renewals.

 

Well, ive just contacted the number and all they said is that they know about the code not working and to try it again in 24hrs (its already nearly 24hrs since i originally tried it). Piss poor service from MS, how long does it take to get a code working lol.

 

Hi Raffaz,
Don't know if you have got this sorted or not, but I've just tried the promotion code on Technets website and it is now working.
Cheers

Is this a US thing? I have paid the same price every year for my Actionpack; £200 +VAT

 

Dunno; make sure you're buying a renewal and not a new Pack every year.
