It looks like it may have been fixed. I was able to get a key this afternoon.

Good luck.

The problem has been forwarded to the team... Now it's their turn to fix it. I hope it gets fixed very soon!
Remember, there was a weekend over there and the work day in Redmond just started a few hours back... give them some time to fix it.

Any updates yet? I've managed to get a key for Windows Server 2003, but not for Visual Studio 2008 Professional or SQL Server 2005 Developer.

It only appears to affect VS2008. I got an unnecessary key for Windows Server 2003 with no problems. I don't need it as I already had one from MSDNAA, but I used it to check whether other key generators were affected.

I used the Contact Us page to contact Channel 8 about it. We'll see if I get a reply.

Or if MS reads these boards, they'll see it here. It's a win-win situation.

i also tried with those 3 (with no success) before i checked here... in fact, the key download failing is the sole reason i checked here!

It happens in IE7, Firefox 2, and Opera 9.2x... I've tried all 3.

What browser are you using?

I get an error every time I click Get Key. The error states:

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled.
Details: Error parsing near '

<!DOCTYPE html P'

Anyone know how to fix this or even who to report it to?

My download history is currently showing N/A for the VS2008 key as well.
