Digital River shot... Is Microsoft sue me to provide other means of distribution?

I noticed yesterday that MS pulled from Digital River, the site to download the ISO files legal. Fortunately, I had all the files downloaded ISO English meadow.  Basically, I want to know if it is legal for me to share / post ways to access the ISO files, or your legal team smash me as a mouse under a hammer?

I was more trying to get permission from MS, I thought it was just how they distribute the files... digital river was obliged to pay for the hosting of the files? There is no point asking my own lawyer, I need a go come from ms to show different forum administrators that I have permission to host them. I have an opinion I can get away with it.

EDIT: looks like that they brought back, so just a joke, I don't have to / want to distribute more. Thank you.

  • Digital River downloads do not work

    Hello.

    Official download any ISO from Digital River do not work. Is there any other place where I can get a copy of DVD for my legally purchased Winows 7?

    Please advise or tell these guys to fix it. Apparently, from what I've seen here, they have problems for a long time.

    And no, it's not my connection. I tried several places, several computers.

    Thank you.

    To the best of my knowledge Microsoft has or had a contract with Digital River to provide the services of download that have to be renewed periodically.

    It seems that Microsoft has chosen not to renew the contract at the moment and it is likely that they may not in the future (IMO) like Microsoft for the first time installed this new recovery software for Windows 7 page.

    If you have a friend with a version of "Retail" from the installation DVD (should be the same as your key was for: Home Premium, professional or Ultimate) it will work with your OEM key.

  • Why digital river windows 7 pro x 64 suck?

    Hi, I wonder if someone from microsoft can * actually * help out me.

    I just bought a new computer (yay!).

    On occasion I decided to switch to win 7 pro x 64.

    Being a student, I took advantage of your student offer (by digital river) and bought the ISO file.

    Then begins the 'fun '.
    .
    Before I elaborate on my tests, I want to clarify that:

    Both microsoft AND digital River wrote that I could improve my xp x 86 for win 7 pro x 64 (thanks to a clean install). There is no indication that this might be difficult (to the point of pulling on my hair).

    OK first of all, that according to the instructions on the digital rivers site, I downloaded the ISO file so that I could use microsofts DVD too USB tool to create a bootable USB key to clean install win 7.

    However, after downloading the ISO, the tool and the tool running, I get a msg of error at the end of a long process which informs me that my x 86 version of XP allow me to make the USB drive bootable. "Click to online help.

    Ok then. "" Online help says I should connect to my account from windows store and find the additional downloads section so that I can download the copy of 32-bit "bootsect.exe" I need to make the USB drive bootable. Wow seems easy!

    No, sorry. I don't have a windows store account (why the f * & K not I do not know...) I just BUY your software didn't I? And it wasn't like I CHOSE to go through digital river, the link "student offer" on site Web microsofts took me there!)

    So I can't download this small file to make my bootable USB key. Bad luck.

    I find a third-party option, after scouring the net for hours. Don't remember the name, but it works! Boots from USB, win 7 Installer loads!

    win installer crashes.

    Try again, works. Win 7 installed (yay!)

    Crashes in win 7. Over and over again. BSOD, error in the application, you call it. (I managed to activate however)

    Now, I think, hmmm, then a shabby installation. A glitch somewhere. So I decided to re - install win 7.

    Boots of the USB.

    Win 7 setup charges!

    Win 7 Setup hangs (before the 1st reboot)... more and more and more.

    So I re - download the ISO again. Try the trick of USB keys. Same deal. Hmmm

    (at this time, I wrote several gay emails to digital river, who all get an automatic response direct me to talk to microsoft)

    So I call microsoft. It was a good way to spend 3 hours!

    They basically tell me that they cannot do anything. They are useless, and I lost my time to call (more or less). They say "(, contactez digital river)." I say that I have and they sent me to you. "We can not help you," they say. I say, why not give me access to the bootsect.exe file you suggest so useful I download through my account does not exist (because even if I just bought the software out of you, I have not really!)

    They say, 'sorry, we can't do that. "

    One last chance, they say: "try to burn the ISO to a DVD. It will work for sure. OK, I'll give it a shot.

    Burns very well (made nice and slow). Disk check. Disk boots!

    Win 7 setup charges!

    The Win 7 Installer crashes (BSOD)

    ____. Try again.

    Boots, loads, installs up to first reboot!

    Restarts, loading... BSOD (bad_pool_header)

    CRUD. try again... reboot... seems to load ok... Oops! "exception error - winmail.exe.

    Click ok... Guard will... Oops! "application error - rundll.exe" (two times)

    Click ok... chugging along... Office! (yay!)

    Start the update... Oops! "win the Defender does not.

    CRUD... ok restart... up... loading whoops! "no available location - c:windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop.

    MMK... click ok.. continuous loading... Office loads... looks wonky... Open Start menu... Oops! It is empty!

    Hmm... ok, time to restart restarts ok... ok... try to update again... finishes updates... ok... try to activate... Oops! 'invalid key '.

    Amine... restart and try again... Oops! "BSOD process_init_fail"... accident.

    Reboot... Oops! "application error - werfault.exe" hmmm

    try to activate several times 'invalid key '.

    So this is basically how I spent my Saturday and Sunday, my last two days of Christmas vacation before school starts again... How would you feel after that?

    I feel a bit like "WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME!"

    I want to kick my pc.

    I feel like punching someone in the face.

    I want my freaking money (and my time if that was possible)

    I want to buy windows 7 has been a bloody mistake and who probably shouldn't buy anything from microsoft again... ever.

    That is my rant. At this point, I don't give a sh * t to get my problem solved, I call my credit card company tomorrow and demanding a reverse payment.

    Thanks for the tests of constraint connects stuart, I finally found memtest86 and prime95 + on my own and their execution. Both have quickly show the errors which I think are attributed to my RAM. I have RMA had those and things seem to be working very well now (I don't want kinx myself well!)

    I should probably apologize if I deleted> someone out with my rants. I was pretty muted at the time after spending two days trying to figure what was wrong with windows 7 (when it is in fact the problem was with my material). Live and learn.

    Thanks again for the help guys,

    Jeremy

  • Download illegal links Digital River for use by individuals is not taking part in the promotion?

    I noticed the spread on some sites of tech direct download links for Windows 7, for large ISO files hosted by Digital River.  It turns out that the links seem to be only for the use of students who bought under some promotion through the Microsoft Bank before January 3, 2010.

    So my question is, if someone comes today, not as part of this promotion and use these links, is it legal?  Or it is a violation of the copyright of Microsoft?  It seems to me that download concerts thousands or millions of times since a server will involve costs that Microsoft and Digital River did not intend.

    I know that the downloaded Windows copies would have to be activated.  This isn't the issue.  Thanks for any input.

    ETA: Links are not provided with the permission of Microsoft, neither are downloads in accordance with the terms of the Microsoft license agreement. In fact on the site Web of Digital River users qualified (i.e. students who have purchased on the site of Microsoft during a qualifying period) are intended to contact customer support directly to get the download links. the fact that one or more of them must have passed the links the long will not change the fact that the unqualified use of the links is not allowed.

    And no other connection of digitalriver does not work either.

    Where can I download the ISO?

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  • Windows 7 ISO (from Digital River) will not completely download

    I made the mistake of buying Windows 7 from Digital River.  I got nothing else problems, and their "customer service" has absolutely no value.  Here's my last problem:

    They finally made an ISO of Windows 7 available for download file.  ISO has been necessary because the Windows 7 Installer, they provided for the 64-bit version wouldn't work on a 32-bit version of Windows Vista.  The ISO has been provided to solve this problem.

    In any case, I tried to download the ISO literally dozens of times.  Everytime I try, it stops at an arbitrary location in the download, as Mo 600 or 800 MB or, more recently, 16 MB and told me that it is complete.  This is supposed to be a 3 GB file.  I even followed the link on my MacBook and tried to download is here to make sure that my PC was not the problem.  It didn't download completely on the MacBook either.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  I'm sick to death of having problems with Windows 7.  I would be very happy any help you could give me.

    I am currently running Windows Vista 32-bit.

    Thank you.

    Keep up with her.  I had downloaded about five or six times before that I'm a good download.  For those who have problems, I found that Nero would burn the .iso file, regardless of whether it is complete or not, but the burning DVD/USB tool told me that the .iso file is bad (when he was bad, of course).  But it took me several attempts to do this know.

    Surprise yesterday: I received a package from Microsoft with a DVD inside... Ah, Wndows 7... 32-bit, no less.  I've never seen such a mess screwed up in my life.

  • Reinstall Win7 with Digital River iso and upgrade license?

    I have a dell computer shipped with XP. A few years ago, I upgraded to win7 by buying a license to upgrade through the microsoft store.

    They gave me the download link no longer works. I downloaded the full win7 Professional x 86 version of digital river, but I don't know if it will work.

    Can I format my hard drive and reinstall win7 using the iso Digital River, my win7 upgrade license key and my xp license key?

    As long as you have a license (product key) for Windows 7 Professional, Digital River download will work.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    No, you can't do that, they must not be resold.

    On MSDN or TechNet, and media licenses.

    They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else.
