I recently purchased a visual studio 6 enterprise off of ebay and the seller made a mistake in describing the product. It turns out that the software is actually visual studio 6 enterprise but with an academic license.
I would not have purchased it had I known that.
I am however a student and reading through the requirements on microsofts academic webpages, it seems that it is legal for me to use.
However, I have a few questions that I was hoping you all would know the answers to because I have yet to come across anything in the last few days of searching.
1. Is it legal to sell my finished product if it is compiled with the academic VS6?
2. Does an academic license end once I am no longer a student? I am done in August lol.
3. The EULA on the disc is different than the one in the box. In the box it says Academic, but on the disc it doesnt. I assume because of this, that the versions are exactly the same (academic enterprise vs enterprise)?
4. If it is legal to sell my finished product, are there any restrictions such as royalties or via the amount of money I can make before it is illegal, etc?
If its not legal, thats sort of weak, because it says nothing about that anywhere.
