Some time ago I had an Enterprise MSDN Subscription and stored MSDN product keys inside.
Currently, the subscription is already expired and my organization assigned a new Visual Studio Dev Essentials subscription to the same email address.
It looks like the expired subscription was working at the obsolete MSDN portal only. Anyway, currently, I see no way to login into the obsolete subscriptions instead of the current ones.
Wonder, if there is any option to receive the product keys which were claimed by the Enterprise subscription?

Hi
As per this, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22067037/will-msdn-product-keys-still-work-after-the-subscription-is-expired
A quick answer before this gets closed...my recent experience with MSDN is that
MSDN is an amazing resource and very reasonably priced. The best thing is to regard it as a lifetime subscription. Having said that, we usually make sure we claim a few extra keys before we roll over each subscription. Some work, some don't.

With the migration from MSDN to Visual Studio Subscriptions is this information still viable?
Even if software like Windows Server 2003, for example, is out of compliance shouldn't claimed product keys still be available on the users account?

Afraid the product keys also died with the subscription.

Do you mean that the previously claimed keys are inaccessible or that if known they would not be able to activate the related product?
The Op asked about access to product keys of an expired subscription. There wouldn't be any method for this.
Back in the day I saved MSDN product keys to a local xml file. So even today I still know those product keys by reference to the xml file. I haven't attempted to test their validity since the products to which they relate are obsolete and no longer supported. But what if the products were not obsolete and still in support...
Just checking if there's any progress or updates?
