I obtained a licence key for Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit edition when I have MSDN subscription active. I forgot to download ISO image of Windows 8 64 bit Enterprise edition at that time.

Recently I came to know my subscription got expired. Now whenever I try to access the download page it is showing Me as

Your Subscription is expired. Please contact Administrator

Is there a way to download a Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit edition ISO image? Can anyone share or help me with your inputs related to getting ISO full version of Windows 8 Enterprise edition?

    Not an answer to your question so I will leave this as a comment, but "legally" you can't use your key anymore either. Once your subscription expired your key is no longer considered a "legal" key (it may work, and windows may activate, but you ARE violating the EULA so you are still technically "pirating" windows).

  • I agree with @ScottChamberlain... You can obtain your DVD in any way, it doesn't matter (I actually downloaded it from Torrent because it was really faster than the official MS source); your license is invalid. You can update (legally) to the PRO version of Win8 using the Upgrade Wizard in control panel.f

  • You can't upgrade a Windows 8 or Windows 8 Professional to Windows 8 Enterprise

    It is showing as Evaluation edition. I need Full Version(No pirated) of Windows 8 64 bit Enterprise edition of ISO Image. In the site it has given as.... A few things to note for Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation edition: The evaluation edition will expire and cannot be upgraded. To upgrade, the evaluation must be uninstalled and a non-evaluation version of Windows must be re-installed from your original installation media.

  • @Dan That is the link the OP was referring to in his original post, if your MSDN subscription is expired the download links do not work. Mar 3, 2013 at 6:09
  • @Dan: Files you can’t download: Everyone can view Subscriber Downloads. If you haven't already, you'll be prompted to sign in when you attempt to download a product or view product keys. If you don't have a subscription, you can view what's available, but you can't download any products.

  • As long as the checksum of the ISO file is the same- who cares where you get it from? The only thing that matters is that your license is still valid- are you sure you don't have a perpetual license? Read this: stackoverflow.com/questions/456124/… Mar 3, 2013 at 6:16

Microsoft's Windows 8 Setup utility will download an ISO image, or create a bootable USB stick, of Windows 8. Using it requires entering a valid product key for Windows 8. I haven't tested this myself so I don't know if it will download a Windows 8 Enterprise image.
