I went to a MS seminar on this in my area and this is what I gleaned from the rep. (USA, might be diff. in other countries as Jon pointed out)
1) You will get quarterly updates as long as you maintain the $299 subscription. 2) The software doesn't stop at the end of the subscription and you can continue to use it. 3) My understanding was that you could get back into the program if you dropped it for some reason To me this is a mute point for $299/year subscription is a great deal... Ok, I have been assimilated into the msCollective you will now refer to me as 923432 of 384932292349 ;-) Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WiTangoGoodies.htm Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jon Grieve Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 5:02 AM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: (OT) MS Developer Program Dan, Ben, Brad, MS do the Action Pack here in the U.K also, and there was one 'gotcha' that may be relevant... The money you pay is a yearly subscription, isn't it? If MS decided to not continue the Action Pack at some future date, you would no longer be able to renew your subscription, and therefore would have to stop using all those products. The US equivalent may be slightly different, but this was one potential problem when I looked at it. Just a warning...

It is a great program. The software package is everything you could need except for source safe.

Does anybody recall the link or have the post.
