Office 2007 - MSDN users - Volume keys?

[Jim Willsher]

Hi all,

We have MSDN access (as a Gold Partner). Last night I was able to
download Office 2007 RTM, along with a valid license key.

Does anyone know if we are due to also get volume keys? We have VLKs
for all the XP and 2003 products (visible in our Microsoft Partner
Program "Orders and Benefits" page) but so far there's no VLKs for
Office 2007. Or am I just being impatient?!

We've got a LOT of testing to do, with multiple installs and builds,
and VLKs will remove the pain!

Cheers,



Jim

I think so
Currently, only a minimal set of Office 2007 apps (ever app exactly
once, just one SKU, no DVDs, no server programs) is posted on MSDN. I'm
assuming that Microsoft is going to delay providing the other apps as
well as keys until later in order to better distribute the downloads and
ensure a good transfer rate for everyone.

Yeah, I thought my patience might be getting the better of me

Certainly the downloads yesterday evening were slower than normal, so
I guess their servers were taking a hammering.

I wonder what "later" means
