In all seriousness how do you become a partner? Even at $299.99 this package is so worth it. Please someone PM me with the correct info on how to become a partner to be eligible for this deal. Thanks!!!

You would be eligible if you worked for a partnered company and the appointed administrator would OK you.

Simply register you company as a partner on the Microsoft website. There are some minor qualifications to be a partner, but the are very lose.

Anyone who may have purchased at $299 or $269 last month may still be eligible for the $200 discount. I called the toll free number and told them an "Associate" informed me that the package is now sold with a $200 discount. They put me on hold for 3-4 minutes, came back and informed me I am eligible fore the discoun and my account will be credited for $200.

what time is MS open to at that number does anyone know ?

Who's up for a thread that discusses the uses of and introduces the novice to the MS Action Pack?

If so, should it be in the OS or Software forum?

Since I am already registered (for the $20 XP pro deal last year), and I recently went to the 2k3 sevrer migration event (nice free 32mb USB pen drive and just got a NFR BOXED version of 2k3 enterprise ed. server (with 25 CAL's, I was shocked), in the mail yesterday, they called me today and offered me the $99 deal. Told them to call me on MOnday and I would JUMP all over it

$99 for all this is SMOKIN!!!!!

Plenty of stuff to learn and practice with!

I have the Action Pack and I was unable to use the key to install Office XP. It kept saying it was an invalid code. Could that be because I had just installed Windows XP pro and hadn't yet activated it?

 

[Psee]

"We're sorry, that code has expired"

 

[LeeTJ]

This is SUCH a good deal that i'm tempted to buy it again.

I bought the action pack 1.5 yrs ago and about 6 months ago renewed it.

I'm tempted to buy this one JUST because it's such a good deal.

i wonder if they are going to have nice discounts at the next renewal

You'll want to search for a thread about invalid activation codes. There were a couple where folks had received early action pack mailings and some of their codes did not work.

I think there is a known problem with the keys sent in the Action Pack version of Office XP. Folks have had to call MS for the correct key. I'd give that a try.

I tried to call the Action Pack phone number but they closed for the weekend at 5:30pm pacific time. I wish there were a number I could call now. I'd like to see how Office XP looks.

My code for Publisher XP was invalid: I simply called the toll free number after getting to the page with the telephone activation numbers and they walked me through it after asking a few questions like where I got it and so on. You have to read off and enter like 100 numbers to get it working! The codes for Win XP Pro, and Office XP worked, no problem. This is a great deal. Note; there are only 2 codes for Win XP Pro, and I think each has 5 activations? Office XP has 5 codes with 2 activations each.

Yay, woke up to an email that says mine has finally shipped. Did you guys ever figure out how to make their tracking system work?

The tracking # on your order status page is for Airborne Express. Just put that number into the tracking area of www.airborne.com and you should be good to go.

I'm installing W2K Adv Server now and I'm wondering how many "seats" I can set as a max for this licensing.

EDIT: Never mind, I found it here.

Darn it, I really should read the first post date. I was all ready to buy this... Too bad it's expired. The best part is that I was considering buying this 2-3 weeks ago which is within the coupon period but didn't ever see this thread. Just my luck.

 

[Gamedude51]

Anybody in the loop find a new code?

 

[loudmouth]

Does this include Visual Studio .Net 2003. if so what edition is icluded, is it pro? also i've read some say that these expire in 1yr and some say that there is not time limit. Can anyone confirm which is the case.


thanks

 

[dchakrab]

Called in...they said they would only refund $200 if your organisation called in PRIOR to the coupons expiring, and asked to be put on the list.

They said you can't be put on that list now, even though i said i had a coupon code, etc, etc, and that i was told to call in when i asked about this at a MS users group meeting in chicago.

In other words, i think this deal is dead...time to wait for the next one to come around...too bad.

-D.

No, but try your local college about an academic discount.
