Hi;

I'm thinking of upgrading my VC98 to 2008, but I was wondering what the
licensing restrictions are -- for example, can I install it on both my
home computer and my laptop? I tried to look on the MS site but I
couldn't find that information.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

You can check the licensing terms here:

http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/

Visual Studio is licensed on a "per user" basis, so yes, it appears
you're OK to install it on both computers.

BTW, I'm not a licensing expert, so please check the terms for
yourself!

I hope this helps,

Chris

Hi, Chris:

Yes, thanks, that seems to tell me what I wanted to know.

Hi Chris,

That's how I understand it as well. In fact, I think even Office allows you
to install it on your laptop and desktop computer. Microsoft tries to be
pretty fair about that especially with developer products.
