I have an MSDN Professional Subscription. I requested and received the MS Partner DVD for Visual Studio 2005. The DVD indicates that the product supplied is a “Full Version”. Clicking the link then leads to an “evaluation” link only. Selecting this link requests the product key from the DVD. Whether I enter this with or without hyphens it is “invalid”. Installing from an explorer window and navigating to setup does not provide any facility to key an id and installs a demo only. Can you clarify please ? (I’ve attached a pdf to illustrate the sequence of events)
Hello,
Thank you for the post and the for the very helpful PDF. The DVD is incorrect, our product included on the DVD is a trial version. Your post is the first we've heard of this error. I will be contacting Microsoft to share with them about the mistake. I apologize for your troubles. Please let me know if there is any other way that I can help and I will be more than glad to.
