As a MS certified partner we receive cd's from our MSDN to use in our company. A couple of months ago we received Windows Vista, only the enterprise edition. I waited on the official customer release to put some of our pc's on Vista.
So last week I put 3 pc's on, vista, they all work perfect. I didn't have to give a serial number, because it's the enterprise edition. I treid to activate my copy, but I am getting this error: error code 0x8007232B, DNS name does not exist.
So I searched google, and it seems many people have problems activating the enterprise edition. Seems like the only solution is to re-enter the key....but I don't have a key! On the MSDN I only have keys for the business ed, ultimate ed, but not for the enterprise edition. It seems like I need a MAK key. So I called MS to ask for a key .... here comes the answer....
"We are very sorry to tell you, but MS made a mistake, none of the MSDN subscibers are entitled to the enterprise edition. I cannot give you a key .... .
- So what can I do about this?
You will have to reinstall the machine with MS vista business ed.... .
- Why can't I donwgrade to the business edition, do I really have to format and reinstall again?
yes, we are very sorry"
ok, this is a BIG mistake from MS. Why do they send us enterprise edition when we can't use it??? There must be alot of people who already installed that enterprise edition ... Is there another solution for this problem?
