Microsoft uses the term "evaluation" rather than "trial". There's a slight difference IMHO... See below my sig for actual verbage.
There's a better plan for getting the latest released software. If your business or company promotes the sale of Micosoft products, then you quality to register as a Microsoft Partner. As a Partner, you can purchase the Action Pack, which includes licenses and media for most of the latest Microsoft products, with quarterly updates. You get single licenses for server software, and usually 10 licenses for client software. You are allowed to use the Action Pack software for your own business purposes - not merely evaluation. The Action Pack subscription must be renewed annually for you to continue using any of its software. I don't know what the first-year cost is, but the annual renewal as of this year is $300. I think that's cheaper than annual renewal on Technet. Carl ------ Technet FAQ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ms772427.aspx "Can I use evaluation software received in my TechNet subscription at home?" "In most cases, yes: the license grants installation and use rights to one user only, for evaluation purposes, on any of the user's devices. Each individual product, however, can have its own license agreement, which will control how many installations are allowed. Keep in mind that you may use the evaluation software only to evaluate it. You may not use it in a live operating environment, a staging environment, or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up. You may not use the evaluation software for software development or in an application development environment." -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Diane Poremsky Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 10:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Technet, Vista, and Office 2007 unless it changed, technet includes trial versions only.
