    Hey guys. I know selling ms keys are not allowed here, but I applied for an admin position on MSDN, and I would have 7 sub accounts to give out. I was reading and post and a user said this IS allowed to be sold. Is that true? basically with each account you get 10 product keys of every single product made my microsoft, including iso download links. Thanks!

    That would allow you to sell for example 70 Visual Studio Team Enterprise or so, that sells to companies
    >500$ per key.

    So, think about it... Would microsoft allow you to sell software worth like $25.000 - $40.000 just for nothing?

    We are not allowed to sell keys here, but I was wondering if accounts were ok.

    You are NOT allowed to sell anything related to MSDN and i am sure know that.

    And you really should stay aways from that when you want avoid real trouble.

    MS is really controlling their MSDN stuff. Everything there is personlized and can
    be tracked by the keys and watermarks. One reason you don't see much MSDN
    iso's on torrent and such.

    Before you worry about how you can exploit the position focus on getting the job. You've only applied... even been called in for an interview yet?

    You can't sell accounts here - and I would be extremely surprised if you didn't have to sign something with Microsoft saying you weren't going to sell them too.

    Its only allowed if you can prove the genuine of the key and as long as you can give out genuine COA for every MS product sold.

    Thanks for your answers guys. Actually, I already know that I am going to probably be accepted. Lets assume that I do, because a guy I know that got his admin with msdn as well told me how to make my application good. Mentos, from what I remember, COA stickers only come with retail versions (phyically) from the store. So basically, nothing MSDN can be sold here according to what you are saying. There should be another way to prove that it is legit, but the only other way I can think of would just be the honor system.

    EDIT: and Sarah, there is nothing to sign, BUT according to their user agreement, you cannot resell keys to the third party without asking microsoft, however from what I have read, they have said NOTHING about selling sub accounts =)

    Don't you see the big red notice @ the top?

    I keep it there for everyday use and reference.

    Its actually not that hard to get a MSDN Admin account all you really have to do is fill out a form here and lie your ass off I received my access within 12 hours of filling the form out but owning a registered business might have helped also.

    btw there is nothing wrong with torrents. :cool:

    I actually found out I got accepted. I just used great grammar and sorta BS'd it. What do you mean torrents arent wrong? I am trying to make some profit, I am not afraid to take a risk and give out the sub accounts, because I obviously would give to trusted members, and I would ask them up front for them not to tell anyone. My friend sold all these sub accounts for $20 dollars each on this one forum and his admin account has still been up for over a couple of months.

    Do what you want with them elsewhere (at your own risk). But as you've been told repeatedly you're not doing it here. So to officially answer your question and close this - no, you are not allowed to sell this here.
