Hi, I downloaded vs2008 trial and going to purchase it to make applications and sell it. I have many questions 1- Is there any other requirement to be legal? 2- Can vs2008 license cover vs6 (even if I have to pay extra fees?) 3- Do I have to have trading license to sell my applications, as I am person not company? 4- Can I start selling in the 90 days trial? 5- How to give my customers license to use my applications Regards |

I have many questions I'm not a lawyer but... > 1- Is there any other requirement to be legal? It depends on what you mean by being legal. From MS point of view it should be enough that you have the licenses necessary to use their products. Local laws might impose additional requirements. > 2- Can vs2008 license cover vs6 (even if I have to pay extra fees?) Probably not, but check with MS sales department. > 3- Do I have to have trading license to sell my applications, as I am person > not company? That is regulated by local laws, but I think that most countries allow persons to engage in commerce. > 4- Can I start selling in the 90 days trial? Probably not, but read the trial license to be sure. > 5- How to give my customers license to use my applications Formally your costumers gives you money and in return they get some kind of evidence that they have purchased a license to use your software, and that is it. If you want to build some kind of mechanism to enforce a license (like requiring a CD-key or such) you have some more work to do. There are many ways to do it, search the net for more information. -- Erik Wikström |
