[dba-VB] Redeem your voucher

Hi John:

Possible problems:
1. You are not using an approved browser like Microsoft's Internet
Explorer... Come the think of it, it is the only approved browser.
2. Are you accepting cookie? The answer to this question is yes.
3. Are you entering the correct username and password? Remember that both
username and password are case sensitive.
4. If you have screwed up 5 times the system will go off into space for a
few hours before you are allowed to try again.

If you have done everything right and it still doesn't let you in, complain
to MS through one of the page emails and you will be sent special
instructions/password and be able to retrieve your copy.

Been there done it a number of times.

HTH
Jim

Subject: [dba-VB] Redeem your voucher

Well, I watched the two videos, filled out the required feedback report and
now I have received my highly coveted voucher for my free* copy of Visual
Studio 2005 Standard Edition.
 
*Other than having to pay shipping and handling (which is fine) I also have
to get the web page to ACCEPT my voucher (which ain't happening).  The old
endless loop, comes right back to the same page and asks for the voucher
again.  I even tried using MS POS Explorer to no avail.
 
I wonder if anyone at MS has noticed that no one is redeeming their
vouchers.  I wonder if anyone at MS is ASSIGNED to notice such things.
 
Sigh.
