You have no other option if you want the product key. I have one legally, but I want to avoid downloadingĢ+ GBs and going through re-installation just for obtaining a string < I have it installed and ready, really, but I need my product key so IĬould activate it.


You would have to download the iso in order to get this information. Is there a way to obtain my product key without downloading Visual The confirmation letter says that I should reach any serial numbers or activation keys within my account however, following the link it gives me, I arrive at the Order Details page that only gives me Order Number and Agreement Number, a "start download" button and a text that I have 24 months of access, but without actually giving me the key. I have one legally, but I want to avoid downloading 2+ GBs and going through re-installation just for obtaining a string < 128 bytes. I have it installed and ready, really, but I need my product key so I could activate it. Is there a way to obtain my product key without downloading Visual Studio 2010 again, from MSDNAA?

Now it tells me that I should proceed and download the image and then burn it on a disk. I 'bought' VS2010 Professional (for $0 with school license). Then I noticed that I don't have a Product Key yet so I logged in to DreamSpark with my MSDNAA login (that is provided to me by my school's license/contract). I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional Trial from the public ISO download site.
