I think its done during installation, and you just type in the key on
the DVD. If somebody else has registered it however, especially if
it's pirated, you're out of luck. At least this is how I remember it;
I could be wrong.

I'm sorry that I don't have the exact answer. I remember trying to use an
Academic Edition several years ago and having activation issues myself.
But I never did figure it out (didn't seem worth it, since I was already
had a working VS installation and was just curious about the AE version).

However, I'd like to recommend that unless you have a specific need to use
that particular VS version, you would be better off just downloading
VS2008 Express. It's completely free of charge and fully supports the
latest C# and .NET.
