Pro and Con: VS.net Pro vs. VS.net Pro Academic
-
I just wait a whole month for a VS.net Pro order and I when to pick it up today and found that it was the VS.net Pro Academic ver. The front of the box says it is VS.net Pro plus student tools. I don't need any student tools but I need to be able deploy programs built and I know that some versions of programming IDE wont deploy programs. I have not open the box. Is there any cons that I should it back? Any help... Real World Coding: POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};

I looked at the license agreement for the VS.NET Academic they were handing out at the campus launch events and I didn't see any restrictions on it. I didn't study it for long, but I was specifically looking for restrictions and didn't see anything :) I don't have it installed though so I don't know if there are any differences in the IDE to be aware of.

I have no idea. But, I remember someone saying that with VS6, the academic version couldn't build optimized version (basically you could only build debug builds) Not sure if this was true, as I never had it. Have fun, Paul Westcott.

If it was me, I wouldn't feel very good about using a student edition to produce commercial code that I was making money off. I also can't believe that the licence doesn't have some restrictions. That is most unlike Microsoft. You'd be best to talk to whoever supplied your copy, get it in writing and then at least your ass is covered. Michael :-)

MS never actually made an academic version that was sold in stores (college bookstores), instead they offered acedemic pricing. Everything was the same except that there was an added restriction of not being able to distribute programs that were made with it. The version you remember hearing about is the standard edition and the learning edition (found packaged with some books) with it you could only dynamically link and there was no optimizations. I think with those you could distribute programs created with it.

That figures, when I go to upload the EULA to my website the server is down. I just finished working on it too :(( James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.

I think I should clarify. I am using VS.NET Pro upgrade which I bought from Amazon; I also have VS.NET Academic because I attended a Campus Launch event.
