MSDN Subscriptions/Renewals
Hey all,
Since I've gotten a couple of requests now for MSDN renewals, I may as well try to do them in a big batch. If you have an MSDN subscription that is expired or soon expiring, I can get you a renewal if you send me the email address you use to login and your Subscriber ID. This is found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/
If you don't have a subscription but would like one - it gives you access to Windows ISOs, Visual Studio, and other Microsoft software - please send me your preferred email address, mailing address, and telephone number, and I'll get you setup.

Oh, that reminds me - we should mention the availability of Visual Studio Community edition on python-dev, and likely update the developers guide to recommend it to Windows based contributors.
I'll write something up for the list, and post a tracker issue for the latter aspect.
Cheers, Nick.

Oops, belay that - I realised there are associated problems with C runtime versioning. I'll chime in on Steve's VS2015 thread instead.
Cheers, Nick.

The Express versions should be sufficient, except for testing 64-bit builds.

And Paul Moore is very close to having cloud-based VM images set up for people to do 64-bit builds, though I think he's skipping the VS 2010 installation.
As I understand it, there'll be a VS Community 2015 as well (though the Express editions are still part of the daily builds...), and if not the recent Express for Desktop builds don't have the 64-bit bug, so there'll certainly be a free VS that can develop/build/debug Python.
Hopefully we're quickly getting to the point where open-source devs don't need to worry about MSDN subscriptions :)
Cheers, Steve

There's still the OS license, though :)

Mine expires on 4 March 2015 - I don't see that qualifying as "soon". Can I assume you'll be doing another batch perhaps early in 2015?

Hi Brian,
My subscription expires today.. Is it possible to renew it somehow?
Thanks, Yury

I think you get a grace period for a couple of weeks which is handy.Is it possible to renew it somehow?
So, I ended up renewing my subscription most recently via an online
form referenced in a private area for Apache committers. I'll send
the link in a private follow-up e-mail to you and Brian (and anyone
else if they'd like it).
I'd paste it here but all the Apache docs indicate that the URL
shouldn't be made public, and this is a publicly-archived mailing
list, so...
(Do we have a private area/wiki/repo for committer-eyes-only, out of
interest?)

Yep, usually there's some grace period.
If anyone else is in need of a renewal, let me know.

I would hazard against sending that around in case it's tied to Apache people, or something. In the past I've helped other people gain a connection to have MSDN support for their project (related to Python, but not CPython specifically, so I didn't feel safe handing out subscriptions to them), and they ended up being handled by different people or in different ways.
