The licenses might be perpetual, but once your MSDN subscription ends, you no longer have access to the download site to download software - only to access previously acquired keys.
If you still have the installation media, you can still install without any technical limitation Cheers Ken From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Corneliu I.

We used to be part of the Bizspark program which was very good to us. Part of the program we got licences to various software including SQL Server Standard. Our BizSpark program finished and we exited happily. However now I just had a hardware failure and I want to reinstall on new hardware one of the SQL Servers that was licensed with a BizSpark licence but I can't seem to be able to download it any more. Is this correct? As I understand the licences are perpetual but from what I see once you installed it you can't use them any more. Right? Thanks, Corneliu.
