was wondering if there are anyone else here that has signed up with the same program and could give me some advise. I’ve signed on to the Microsoft BizSpark program sometime earlier a month or two ago, and has activated the MSDN subscription that came with the program.
The subscriber and keys section of the site was accessible after I signed in to the MSDN portal.
I wanted to subscribe to the MSDN Magazine as well, and was directed to sign on via a designated link on the Manage My Subscription page. The said link could not be found. Looking at the help page, there was supposed to be this Online Concierge link that I can click on to get live help. Again, it was supposed to be on the Manage My Subscription page, but was nowhere to be found.
Is the MSDN subscription provided via the BizSpark program supposed to be ‘crippled’ (provided only partially)? Also, do we have an option to get discs delivered instead of having only downloads, similar to the retail MSDN subscriptions?
Edit: It’s strange – I wonder if the MSDN folks read StackOverflow, because I just signed into my subscriber downloads area and I found a new link to ‘MSDN Magazine Subscription’ under the ‘Subscription Benefits’ box on the Subscription Home page of MSDN.
I filled in the request form and submitted it successfully, not sure what’s supposed to happen now ’cause the submission page did not provide much detail. Fingers crossed! =)
IIRC I don’t think it’s a full subscription to MSDN, it’s just access to MSDN Subscriber Downloads – I’ve certainly not got the option for the magazine, and don’t get any discs.
