Vista - Vista Enterprise Key

Has anybody else not been able to get their key from Microsoft? Our
licensing person says she has been trying to get the serial number since the
day we were able to download the media at the end of November but she says
she can't get any response from Microsoft. Now, all of our test machines
and initial installs are nearing the end of their 30-day grace period and we
still have no key to be able to activate them. Is anybody else in the same
situatioin, or is it just something with our person?

Okay,.... that was completely useless.
It was VERY obvious from the question that we already purchased the volume
licensing option, and we even downloaded the ISO images. What we haven't
been provided is the serial number needed to activate it. And as I said,
our licensing person says she can't get a response from Microsoft. (Or
perhaps the response she is getting is about as useless as your reply...)

Pay attention to the question before tossing up garbage.

I think Carey is an automated bot from Microsoft, made to answer these
questions on activation and licencing, as well as any other bad news.

Your "licensing person" needs to deal with the entity that sold
your organization the Windows Vista Enterprise Agreement.
This peer-to-peer public newsgroup has no idea from whom
the purchase was made from. The Product Keys should have
been made available at the time the purchase was made.

From the web page previously provided:

"To purchase software through the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement program,
contact your Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR) or Enterprise Software
Advisor (ESA). To find a Microsoft LAR or ESA near you, call (800) 426-9400
in the United States".

The surprising thing is that Ron installed it on his production environment
without having all the necessary pieces to support it. I hope he doesn't
get into too much trouble when the reduced functionality kicks in.

Carey:
There must be something lacking or a communication error somewhere
within their organization. I purchased Vista Enterprise v/l s/a and the
product keys were readily available after the license was added to the
account. Have a great holiday season.

Ron;
The problem is no one here can help you.
The only person that can is your licensing rep.
The fact she can not get a hold of Microsoft is irrelevant.
Carey gave you a link to support with Contact Us information.

My guess is your licensing person does not know the proper way or does not
know who to contact and is feeding you a line to conceal her own ignorance.
Others in your situation seem to have no problem getting the keys.
Verify she knows what she is doing.
In any case, the solution to your problem is with her.

Dennis;
I suspect the licensing person is concealing her own ignorance and the rest
are paying the price for her incompetence.
However we may never know.
