Windows 10: Is a BizSpark win10 product key valid when subscription ends?

I had a BizSpark account, but it has expired.

I would like to use an unused product key that came with the subscription. It seems not to work.

Has it expired?

:)

 

Bizspark product keys no longer exist

I redeemed a copy of windows from a Bizspark subscription and now the website where I redeemed those keys no longer exists and my account says it failed to find any product keys. Has Microsoft revoked my product keys? According to our contract I am allowed
to keep the keys, but it is very clear my account has been screwed up by the live id merger and I have nothing.

 

windows 10 says it can't validate product key

When I upgraded my windows 7 with win10, it says it cant validate my product key? Why? Can you give me the steps to follow to validate it?

Hi Allo. I"ve not heard they revoked any issued keys. What normally happens is that they just stop issuing new ones. So the ones you have should remain active unless they detect a lot of different activations being done with one. But reinstalls on the
same hardware or a change of a key to new hardware (if necessary with help from Support) should be as normal.

If you have further questions you can contact Customer Service here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/405170.... They are tasked with validating Product Keys and if it is valid they will often open a case to get it activated by one method or another. They may also have more information about Bizspark keys already
issued.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

If you receive a popup asking if this solved your problem please ignore it, as it may remove my ability to help you and others may also not help. Please wait until after the issue is resolved to answer the popup or mark your question answered to help others.
