I think Microsoft`s business model continues to sell products, but don`t worry about product downloads in the hands of customers. I have expressed my concerns to everyone who will listen, but no one seems to want to go ahead and address these kinds of issues. Thanks to a little luck and a few random test and error tests, I managed to register on the VLSC website. However, I can only download on this site, are VS2008 and SQL-2005 (but I could not find the product keys). I was able to find a number of product keys from different versions of Windows, but not the download links. Isn`t this behavior very typical of Microsoft? What a nightmare! I guided our customers in the process of creating a Microsoft ID and, in fact, the link was available to download the newly purchased product. I worked with him remotely to add my MS ID as an administrator for his licenses. The side was sitting… Sat… Sat… and finally said that an error occurred and asked to report the problem to Microsoft.

Good job, guys. 1.5 hours waiting – I tried to download the 2008 r2 server. Basically, they can only send the media to the hard drive. 5-10 working days. The guy couldn`t tell me what was going to happen first, a site that works properly or the media. I had it sent by the media – at least the postal service is reliable. (866) 230-0560 Spent 1.5 hours waiting with Microsoft, while in the queue, I searched for the error on Google and found this thread. When I finally reached a person, he told me that I had to go to profile.microsoft.com and log in and add my email address and account details to the new live ID I had just created. I did that, and then he tells me I have to wait 48 hours to access the downloads.

However, I needed Win2K8 R2 and SCVMM TODAY! He said he would email me the keys and they would arrive in 10 minutes, but he couldn`t hold on until they arrived, but he promised he would never have had a problem. It is 17 hours later and I did not receive it. I had access to an open license account to the difference, which worked and had Win2K8 on it, which allowed me to download at least ISO and add keys later. I also asked him to send me the media, he was hesitant, but he eventually gave in and said 3-5 working days. Oh, yes, and I tried to log in to my account this morning to see if any addition to my account details was working, and I was blocked from my account for too many tests. I also can`t find a “Add a Deal” button/section. I think now the licenses will be automatically added to the site, then the “administrators” of the agreements will be able to see the keys, downloads, etc. That`s how it works with MVLS… only eOpen still required the manual addition of chords.
