Now that we have the download wed site offline.
What is the status of the PID's not working on the Technology Advancement
Program and the
2nd tier thing?

Has anyone got a reply to 2nd tier request other then
tell you how to find your PID and we let you know in
two weeks

I wish I knew myself. It is now 4 weeks since the start of the Upgrade
program, and still no answer from Tier2, and my PID/COA still aren't being
accepted. (OEM PID). Wish an actual MS rep would let us know what's the hold
up...

Thanks for the update, Tacopet. I just submitted my order using the COA
and it went thru also. I must have tried at least 50 time previously.

There's an issue with people who have "OEM" in their PID. You can check this
on your PC. Right-click on "My Computer", click on properties and look for
the Product ID. If you have OEM in there, neither your Product ID (PID) nor
your COA will be accepted by the system.

We've e-mailed Tier2 about it, but as of yet no one has heard back from them.

The main issue that alot of us have, is that Microsoft isn't acknowledging
that there even is an issue. They just say "e-mail tier2" and never accept
that there might be a class of COA/PID's that aren't working.

It's simply not true that MS isn't acknowldeging there is an issue. There
have been three regular MS representatives on this newsgroup every day. They
have repeatedly acknowledged the issue, and stated repeatedly that it is
being worked on. Some OEM PIDs works, some don't. Why has been difficult to
track down, but the following statement from Joe Swart pretty much covers the
issue:
=================
What I will say is I've personally been looking into this and it's being
worked on.

Why you're specific OEM PID is not working varies from user to user. I've
seen post from users that indicate OEM PID's have worked and I've tested the
site myself with an OEM PID and it worked. (And no I didn't indicate that I
was an employee nor did I test it from work)

Are we looking into this: Yes absolutely!

Can I tell you that your PID will eventually work, No I can't

In short we're working on it.

Will I can not say I did not get a reply. I can say that the two that I have
received are just stupid. In my last email I sent them the PID number and
their reply was to tell how to find the PID. That the part that upsets me
the most. if the PID is their.

Maybe your PID and COA do not comply with the time frame for the exchange
program.

How is the time frame linked to the PID?

Further...the site only states that the system to have been built or
purchased during a specied time frame. It says nothing with regard to the OS.
