Windows partner action pack

At this point in time I'm unlikely to renew beyond this year. I have to agree with you Chris, it doesn't seem like they care, as the point of Action Pack is to promote the latest software, and the list is getting old.

There is still no download for Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 or Windows Remember back to the good Time, where you get something from Microsoft when you pay for it. On every other plattforms you can download it free but not on the paid portal. Kind regards, Stefan. I know Americans seem not to be able to answer to more than one thread in one message. It confuses Microsoft if I complain to several things in one message. But let's give a try if this time you understand that this is more than one issue.

I will put numbers for you to understand it better. The Action Pack I bought is not for free! If your system is not working properly and you have to release every month security patches it is obvious that the testers should not pay for it, so it is nothing about charity you are doing, your philosophy to let the world be your testing slave is simply unfair.

TRON22 : Thank you for your feedback. What makes you think I'm American? Your post did not confuse me, I just did not see and still don't see the relation to anything what has been discussed here so far. The thread started with questions about download availability and in your text it was next to impossible to identify what exactly this is about. Login experience to Partner Community? Complaining about account verification for creating a account in this portal, or was the comment regarding "authentication maniacs" referring to security settings in your own AzureAD tenant?

And because I don't want to assume things, I did ask what the question exactly is to answer respectfully to your concerns and questions. On 1 - Yes, even with this setting the session might expire, depending on the web site settings. This is why the message says "reduce the number of login prompts" not "remove the login prompts now and forever". On 2 - with "system" you mean microsoftpartnercommunity.

Well, if the username is already taken, what do you expect should happen? On 3 - Tested and works as expected, different user account, different user name on the forum. At least from my side the test was successful, if you see a different problem, then please explain the proper repro steps, as it should be done when identifying an error that did not came up earlier despite testing different scenarios.

Both portals are used for multiple purposes, directly showing the keys when logging in would imo not be a good decision either - I can understand that different users have different needs and expectations and so there is always some compromise.

Accelerate your Microsoft app development. I am currently running Win10 Enterprise 21H1 I really do not want to upgrade, but a fresh install of Enterprise. ThomasMeyer : Sorry for the confusion. New software releases for MPN benefits are not happening regularly e. Windows Server is also not available, though already released in some channels in August , I would need to check if there is already a timeline for adding this, or if the LTSC Windows client license will be replaced with M use rights like it has happened for competency Partners.

This is most definitely needed to be done as soon as possible. Action Pack requirements are that you are running the latest version of all software and yet Action Pack subscribers arent being supplied with the software to be compliant. When you use the Media Creation Toolkit you would install e. The Media Creation Toolkit allows for both bare metal and upgrade installs.

On the compliance side - the requirement to use the latest version refers to the latest version available in MAPS, so only as soon as the new software versions are being made available you would be required to upgrade. Having I been using the Action Pack in the wrong manner all this time? I thought it was to familiarize myself with these systems so I could go out, recommend, sell and support them. At one point this was a huge benefit to me, but will all the instability seems every year, this "partnership" becomes less valuable and lack of reliability now Windows 11 keys are upgrade only?

Case in point. Just bought a new Surface Pro 8 to test drive, eventually want to upgrade it from Home to Pro to check out the new features there, but I can't? Unless I purchase another license? So this did not change. So, while the ISO allowed for a bare-metal installation, it required a base license. This is the same like it is done for volume licensing customers - while Media in VLSC allowed for full install, the license was upgrade only and requires an eligible OS license.

The licensing rules are documented in the benefits usage guide available here: Internal Use Rights cloud and software benefit microsoft. First, I want to thank you for response to my post and others. Unfortunately, your response make little practical sense to me.
