Dear Robert,



Microsoft contracted with us, Intrepid Consultants, Inc, to conduct the TechNet Plus Pilot Study program research and manage the activities of the pilot study. Our records show that you have recently signed up for a free TechNet Plus subscription through a registration link that was made available without authorization on a public blog.



The registration link is part of a proprietary study and the party that shared the information was in violation of the terms and conditions to which they agreed to participate in the study. Membership to the Pilot study is limited and all members of the program are required to first meet survey requirements and then complete tasks and assignments over a two month period in order to qualify for and have access to the free TechNet Plus subscription. Since this was a privately conducted pilot study, at no time was it ever intended that a free TechNet Plus registration link would appear on a public internet site, which was done in violation of the terms to which participants agreed upon registering to participate in the pilot study.



We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but for this reason, we have deactivated your subscription, as well as all other subscriptions resulting from the unauthorized publication of the TechNet Plus Pilot Study program registration link on a public blog. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.



Kind regards,



The Intrepid Consultants Team

:( Sorry guys. I should have researched it further before posting it here. I got the link from a coworker and then saw it on slickdeals and just took for granted that it was legit.

I got one of the emails too. Oh well.

I presume they're blacklisting keys generated by people who weren't supposed to be in on the service -- anyone have any more info?

Again, really sorry >_< Will make all due effort within reason to verify deals.

I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

Just in case you're wondering -- no one's gonna get "in trouble" or sued if you signed up. Best thing to do would be to just act like you never did and don't use the keys, etc.
