I'm thinking about getting a TechNet subscription and one of the reasons is to be able to run some testing labs. From what I understand you get 10 "activations" with programs/OS's that need activating? (Visa/Server2008) Is that correct? It seems you get a MAK key, and then you can use that same key for up to 10 activations? In some cases I would not activate if I wasn't going to be using the computer for long, but for some of the lab testing I want to do it would be longer than 30 days. So I need to know if that will work how I'm thinking. Under Office and some other Apps it looks like you get a RTL key. Do you also get 10 activations with that? Or is it different. Also you get a key for Pro/Pro Plus/Ultimate/Enterprise. Do you get one activation each on that? Or 10 on each or what? I'm just seeing how I will test things like exchange and communicator on the test clients. Anyway any insight on how that all works would be nice
