1. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions and sign in to the Passport network. If this is your first time signing in, you must then complete the registration process using your subscriber ID or benefit access number, name, and email address information on file. If you did not provide an email address when you activated your subscription, please contact MSDN customer service.
2. After signing in, follow the link to MSDN Subscriber Downloads.
3. In MSDN Subscriber Downloads, click the Product Key link in the menu bar.

MSDN Subscription product keys can be used to activate software on up to 10 PCs. An additional product key may be requested by calling MSDN customer service.

Subscribers who purchase MSDN licenses through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs, such as Microsoft Open, Select, Enterprise, Campus and School Agreements, have a unique volume license key available to them from their volume license program. Such subscribers receive the volume license version of many products in addition to the retail version. Retail product keys available from MSDN Subscriber Downloads cannot be used to install volume license versions. Contact your company's volume license administrator for more information on obtaining volume license keys. For more information on this deployment process, please see Volume License Product Keys.

No, but with one exception. Software in your MSDN Subscription comes with a development, test, and demonstration license. Examples of prohibited use include:

• You may not install Exchange Server from your MSDN Universal Subscription and use it to send and receive personal or business-related e-mail.
• You may not install Windows NT Server and use it to host your own personal or business Web site.
• One exception is that the MSDN Universal Subscription comes with one license to Desktop Applications (typically on blue discs) such as Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003 (which includes Microsoft Word, Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, InfoPath, OneNote and Publisher), Visio Standard 2003, and Project Standard 2003 for business use directly related to the design, development, test, and/or demonstration of software projects. For example, you can use Project to manage a development project, use Visio to diagram your application, etc.
• In addition, one copy of Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003 can be used for general business use, unrelated to development and testing. Again, only persons with an MSDN Universal Subscription license can use these Microsoft Office products in this manner.

• Microsoft Partner Program: please visit the Microsoft Partner Program portal.
• Microsoft Open: please visit eOpen.
• Microsoft Select and Enterprise Agreement: please visit Microsoft Volume Licensing.

Many products are posted as ISO-9660 image files. An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of a CD or DVD, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank CD-R or DVD-R, resulting in an identical copy of the original disc including file name and volume label information. ISO image files may also be opened and their contents copied to a local folder, much like ZIP files. ISO files may also be virtually mounted and accessed as a device. These three methods of using ISO images are described below.

Writing ISO files to CD-R
Most CD-R writing software includes a feature to create a CD from an image file. Below are instructions for some popular applications:

Roxio Easy CD Creator

• From the File menu, choose Create CD from image file. Roxio Easy CD Creator assumes the file extension is .CIF so enter the full path and filename, or rename the .ISO file to .CIF.

ISO Recorder

You can add additional subscriptions to your Passport either by using the "Add a subscription" link on the http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/ page, you can choose the "Add Another" option when completing an ongoing registration, or by selecting "Add Subscription" from the subscription tasks section of the Manage Subscription page.

If you are a Universal subscriber and would like to choose which Visual Studio Team System subscription you would like, please visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/subscriptions/default.aspx to learn how to make your choice.

If the Visual Studio 2005 Team System product information doesn't answer your questions, you don't have to make a transition choice immediately. You will still receive Visual Studio 2005 and MSDN Premium subscription shipments, as well as Visual Studio Team Suite 180-day Trial Edition. This will allow you to use the full version to learn which features are most important to you.

You can find products either by browsing for them in the Table of Contents, or by searching for them in the Search box at the upper left hand of the site. Products in the Table of Contents are sorted according to the discs that they are shipped on, though there can be inconsistencies over time based on changing product requirements. If you can’t find a product in the TOC, then try using the Search option. Search is by product title and description, and always in English only. Search results can be filtered according to your download preferences, and the result columns can be sorted ascending or descending.
