Hi all,
Since I've gotten a handful of requests lately, I wanted to put out a call to try and handle them in a batch. That'll make it easier for the people at Microsoft who run their Open Source program.
If you're using your MSDN subscription and it will be expiring in the next couple of months, go to https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/ and send me the email address associated with the account, and the Subscriber ID.
If you don't have an MSDN subscription but you would like a complimentary one, which gives you access to Windows ISOs/licenses, Visual Studio licenses, etc., please send me your preferred email, your mailing address, and a phone number. They don't mail you or call you, but those are required fields in their signup.
I'm going to wait a few days, then send everything to Microsoft. After that, it usually takes a day or so for them to get to it and push our applications through. Once it's processed, you'll receive emails a few days later from msdntnorders@arvatousa.com saying the account is created and will soon be active, and then one from Msubserv@microsoft.com with a link to activate it. Some people have had these go into spam folders, so keep an eye out for them.
Thanks,
Brian
