Windows Server 2008 R2 Technet Plus Subscription

Question
-
This might be in the wrong section, but related to training.
I am curious if anyone else is having this issue after Microsoft's update of the Website. When I access the Technet site to download a Copy of Server 2008 R2 for testing and training it tells me it's only a 180 day trial now. I know my Technet Plus Subscription is still active as it was renewed very recently. Has Microsoft removed the Benefit (Full-Version Microsoft Software - Unlimited access to more than 70 Microsoft Products licensed for evaluation with no time or feature limits). If so I need to know so I can call and hopefully get my money back as this was the key point I bought the Plus Subscription for. I have the Server 2008 R1 unlimited eval (from the past), but I was unsure if I could just download the update to R2 and still have unlimited access or if it would mess it up and make it 180 days.

I finally got this, It was not allowing me to log in. Had to go into the VLSC and make a click in the plus subscription and it was finally allowing me to log in again.
Thanks,

There must be something wrong with your subscription. I just checked mine and it does offer Windows Server 2008 R2, no mention of it being a trial. The downloads page does provide the Keys, so I presume it is the real thing and not a trial.

Definately check your subscription.. You can probably talk to the online concierge and get it sorted. Stupid question is the account you are logged in with the same one that is set up with the technet plus account.
