I'm unsure what it means in the EULA (or at least what is up on the MS web site) to say that a development tool cannot be used in a production environment? Do you know what that is about? The EULA refers to all products, not just O/S's.

>>Hi Cindy,

>>Can you comment on how are the MSDN licenses for VFP are worded? Specifically, in light of the current flap about the VFP 8.0 upgrade license, are the MSDN licenses for VFP considered full licenses or upgrade licenses? Or are they something else altogether?
>>
>>One related question: Now that MSDN includes Visual FoxPro 8.0, does it sill include VFP 7.0? I presume MSDN would still includes VFP 6.0, as part of Visual Studio 6.0, but since VFP 7.0 is packaged separately I'm wondering if VFP 7.0 has been replaced by VFP 8.0 or if VFP 7.0 is still included.

>I'm not a lawyer. As far as I know everything in an MSDN subscription is a "full" license for development and testing . That means the license is different than a typical OS license but the same as a typical developer tool license. The subscription is for a year but you can use the licenses indefinitely - if your subscription runs out you just won't get copies of anything new.

>I see that VFP6, VFP7 and VFP8 are all available on the MSDN subscriber downloads for me. Available downloads depend on the subscription level but as far as I know if you get Visual Studio you get all verstions of it. In other words if you have the Library only or OS-level subscription you don't get VS, but if you have a higher-level subscription you do.
