Re: .NET Licensing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Chuck,

I found a FAQ on the MS website that states "No licensing restrictions for
applications built using the Express Editions" but my boss wants explicit
terms & conditions.

"Better safe than sorry" as the saying goes. It seems to be difficult to
find direct links to the EULAs (End-User License Agreements), but here seems
to be the .NET Framework 2.0 text:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/7/c/47c23122-8647-4277-bec7-5164a6714f12/FX20.ENU.htm

As for the other two, the EULAs are displayed when you install the
products/SDKs. You could try to copy-and-paste the text from there to your
boss. Also, Visual Studio Express might have an file called "Eula.doc" or
"Eula.txt" under the installation directory, try searching for one.

Finally, this link might prove to be useful:
