Do MSDN Windows licenses still work after the subscription expires?
提问by Lisinge
Will my Windows license key still work after the subscription is closed? It's not a volume license.
订阅关闭后，我的 Windows 许可证密钥是否仍然有效？它不是批量许可证。

You still have access to the product keys of products that were released while your MSDN subscription was active.
您仍然可以访问在您的 MSDN 订阅处于活动状态时发布的产品的产品密钥。
Our company had an MSDN Operating Systems edition. When that subscripion ended we purchased MSDN Universal (or Premium or whatever they call it this week). When we logged on to MSDN we could select either the Operating System account (which had expired) or the Universal account. We could still download from the OS account, but only those products released during the subscription period. You are still bound by the licence, so you wtill have caps on how many installs you have etc, but the products are still active.
我们公司有一个 MSDN 操作系统版本。当订阅结束时，我们购买了 MSDN Universal（或 Premium 或他们本周称之为的任何名称）。当我们登录到 MSDN 时，我们可以选择操作系统帐户（已过期）或通用帐户。我们仍然可以从操作系统帐户下载，但仅限订阅期间发布的产品。您仍然受到许可证的约束，因此您将限制安装数量等，但产品仍然有效。

Most MSDN subscriptions are a perpetual license. When the subscritions expire, you still have the legal right to use everything that was included in it. However, this might not be the case for some volume license subscriptions, so you'll want to check out your specific subscrition to be sure. I've had expired volume license subscriptions in the past that have locked me out of viewing the keys - so you'd want to make sure you download all the keys before the expiration date.
大多数 MSDN 订阅是永久许可证。当订阅到期时，您仍然拥有使用其中包含的所有内容的合法权利。但是，对于某些批量许可订阅可能不是这种情况，因此您需要查看您的特定订阅以确保。我过去曾有过过期的批量许可订阅，这使我无法查看密钥 - 因此您需要确保在到期日期之前下载所有密钥。
Quote from MSDN FAQ - "In most cases, MSDN Subscriptions come with “perpetual” use rights—the ability to continue using the software after the subscription has expired."

The answer is that it depends on the channel through which you purchased your MSDN subscription. Most channels do not allow you to continue using the software after expiration of MSDN:
答案是这取决于您购买 MSDN 订阅的渠道。大多数渠道不允许您在 MSDN 到期后继续使用该软件：
Perpetual Use Rights Visual Studio subscriptions purchased through certain channels provide perpetual use rights that allow subscribers to continue using certain software products obtained through an active subscription after the subscription has expired. However, subscribers are not entitled to updates for that software after the subscription has expired, nor do they continue to have access to software or product keys through Subscriber Downloads or to other subscription services that are a benefit of having an active subscription. Product keys that were acquired while the subscription was active can continue being used until all activations for those keys have been exhausted. If a Visual Studio subscription is transferred or sold, any perpetual use rights are transferred to the new party and the seller can no longer use the software. Generally, Visual Studio subscriptions that do notprovide perpetual use rights include:
永久使用权利 通过某些渠道购买的 Visual Studio 订阅提供永久使用权利，允许订阅者在订阅过期后继续使用通过有效订阅获得的某些软件产品。但是，订阅到期后，订阅者无权获得该软件的更新，也无法继续通过订阅者下载或其他订阅服务访问软件或产品密钥，这些订阅服务是拥有有效订阅的好处。在订阅处于活动状态时获取的产品密钥可以继续使用，直到这些密钥的所有激活都用完为止。如果 Visual Studio 订阅被转让或出售，任何永久使用权都将转让给新方，并且卖方不能再使用该软件。一般来说，不提供永久使用权包括：
? Visual Studio cloud subscriptions
? Visual Studio 云订阅
? Visual Studio subscriptions purchased through Enterprise Agreement Subscription, Open Value Subscription, Campus Agreement, or other “subscription” Volume Licensing programs
? 通过企业协议订阅、开放价值订阅、校园协议或其他“订阅”批量许可计划购买的 Visual Studio 订阅
? Visual Studio subscriptions offered through the Microsoft Partner Network to competency partners and to Microsoft Action Pack partners.
? 通过 Microsoft 合作伙伴网络向能力合作伙伴和 Microsoft Action Pack 合作伙伴提供的 Visual Studio 订阅。
In the above cases, subscribers can no longer use any software provided through the Visual Studio subscription after it expires.
在上述情况下，订阅者在到期后不能再使用通过 Visual Studio 订阅提供的任何软件。
