      So Action Pack was the Technet killer?

      No, they have nothing to do with each other in any way. There is really no overlap in use cases. This is the second time I've heard someone say something like this today. Where is that idea originating?

      Both Technet and MAPS have been around since the 1990s. Technet was eliminated because its content was just made basically free.

      I think it was more of the fact that folks were selling the keys. Back a while ago, you could get 5 legit Windows licenses per version, so with 7 you would have 25 licenses to sell. They dropped the request rate down to two keys per account, but soon after they went ahead and killed Technet.

      I always get a chuckle when I look at my soon to be expired Technet account and see this.

      Thanks for the product keys! 😛

        Touche.

        Meh, it's for Windows 7, they are already in use and have been for a long time. And they are going away in 30 days. Do your worst!

                    For the record, I do know the difference between a valid key and having a license. However, I doubt that MS cares or would come after me.

                      I'm pretty confident that they care. Those licenses are how they make their money.
