I had a TechNet Subscription back in 2007, back when you got 10 keys per version. I was thinking about getting a subscription again, but I was wondering if I re-activated my old account would I still get access to all the keys I did back then, or would I just get the 3 or whatever it is now? Or would not get any of those old keys?
 
TechNet has been discontinued and is no longer available save for renewal on a currently active subscription and if I am not mistaken the cut-off date for that has gone by as well.
 
RIP Technet... It is really lame that MS is gettng rid of it
 
If you claimed all the keys, they may still show up in your list of available keys if you log on now with your old credentials.

edit: I just logged on and all of my claimed keys showed up. My sub expired in 2010.
my first key claimed was Win 7 Pro used in 8/6/2009.

My main rig is still running the original install from 8/30/2009, and it runs great with no issues, and the hardware has been changed half a dozen times since.
this is a snapshot from 2013

Technet has been abused by 99.99999-repeating, of course, percent of all who subscribed. This thread in itself is proof of that.
Can't really blame MS for putting a stop to losing revenue to people who didn't stick to the Technet license agreement.
 
People selling Technet/MSDN keys on fleaBay was what really pissed me off.
