registratiojn benefits are....where?

Question

I've installed and registered vs express.  My confirmation email said "

Accessing your registration benefits is easy. Simply go to the Registration Benefit Portal for further instructions.

Your registration benefits and offers will be available starting on November 7, 2005. Check the Registration Benefit Portal regularly to access new and updated benefits.
"

I go there but....nothing!

any ideas? thanks

Answer 1

I think I have the same problem.....

When i click on the "Registration Benefit Portal" link I end up " @ Microsoft Connect, where after registering AGAIN I am invited to sign up for application feedback--- but VB Express is not listed. Nor do there seem to be any relevant links on that page.

This seems like a bad redirect/link, where should I look for the registration goodies??

Salut,

Answer 5

I too have the same problem and have followed your (Microsoft) Instructions and you do not get the registration key.

You just end up in a loop and always with the same result, the Express product is not registered.

Answer 6

Come on Bill & Co.  Where are the 'thousands of pounds' of goodies to thank us for registering?

Answer 7

All I see is the picture of that blond lady and I'm rather tired of looking at her.

Answer 8

Hello,

is there no solution for this? I do have the same problem - after registration and the kind acknoledgement of MS thanking me for the registration and offering the link to the goodies .... I end up in MS connect.

MS connect does not show anything in regard to VB Benefits, just offering that I can apply for future beta programs.


Anybody managed to get their goodies yet?

What are we doing wrong?


Thanks - Ralf

Answer 9

Hello, No solution but I was able to connect to the  "wonderful" Corbis Photo Collection & E book, & icons they Microsoft offered, I supposed this was the " thank you " they were talking about. Downloaded 16 wmv's of beginning videos at < http://www.learnvisualstudio.net > For me they are a great start, how I did it damn if I can tell you but try search for ((( Microsoft visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - Build a Program Now  ))) was the only book I found, < Leave the photo & icon collection .... imho >
       Hope this helped somewhat

Answer 10

Is anyone in microsoft monitoring this forum?

Does anyone in microsoft care that we ain't getting what was promised?

Is there a lawyer out there reading this forum?

How do we get what we were promised?

Just a thought. Do you have a .NET passport setup?

Hope that helps.
