i hope its ok to ask these questions, but i have some problems i cant figure out in regards to msdn once upon a time i had a subscription to the msdn software through academic alliance http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/bb250591. this was over a year ago. well windows 7 had just come out and i played around with it but put it aside and went back to xp. fast forward to now, and i feel like completely transitioning to w7. my question is, can i still use the msdn software? and if so, will my keys i originally got work with w7+sp1? if the answer is yes to both.. then (here is the part i'm not sure if its ok to ask about) is there a way to re-download the software from my account? or can i use and w7 disk? my account expired about 4 months ago, i think. so its very possible that i wont be able to use this anymore, but i thought i'd ask about it
