This might be a bit of a long-shot, but I know there's a lot of people on here at uni who might be able to help me, and I'm sure my reputation on these forums gives anyone who can help sufficient confidence in me.

Microsoft curently have a scheme called Dreamspark whereby they allow students access to developer software. I've been studing at the Open University for a good few years but the OU, in their infinite wisdom have decided to stop their student.open.ac.uk email addresses which we've used for years, and which I used to sign up to the site last year. Dreamspark needs an email address with an academic domain such as ac.uk in order to sign up.

I've today had to reinstall my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, and just realised I have no way of getting at my product key now that my OU email no longer works.

Would anyone let me sign up to the site using their ac.uk email and forward any emails received to my inbox please? PM me if you're interested.

Emergency over. It seems that the registry keeps your licence details when you reinstall, so I don't need a new key.

Thanks for reading

I'd dig in the registry for the key just in case you get a new pc, or rebuild that one

Good idea, I'll have a dig around.
