    Question VS.Net Academic or Professional

    Hello, I recently purchased the Academic version of .Net, thinking it was going to be the professional. But my instructor told me that if I was wanting to make any money out of this then I needed the Professional version. Is there any way to by the licenseing agreement to make it a Pro version. Cause right now it is a full funtioning Professional version, just with out the agreement that I can make any profits. Any help will be well apreciated. Thanks

    Well you can buy the Pro version, but who is really going to know that you used the Academic version to build the software?

    I have Visual Basic.NET standard Academic Edition I don't know if there is in the license between the standard and pro but I understood that I can redistribute or sell anything that I make in VB.NET AE.
    Maby I wrong but I'm pretty shure that's what it said the in license.

    What do mean by this?
    Are you trying to say that the compiler is from the .net SDK which is free so you can redisibute anything that is compiled using the .NET SDK?

    Yes, all you are really paying for is the IDE.

    Just to make you super paranoid:
    Since your using the IDE to create code, there is that code that is generated by the IDE in there. It is formatted and commented a certain way. MS could (but highly unlikely) use this to prove that you used their IDE to create the code. And since you only have the academic version, hmmm....lol. Of course, this is if you have the source code and such on the computer because all that is taken out when compiled to MSIL.

    I just wanted to start a conspiracy!

    I think you would be just find. From what I have heard, MS has removed the restrictive licensing from the academic versions, but I would look at it in detail again.

    I couldn't any place in my licence agreement that said that I Cannot redisibute programs made in VB.NET, but I didn't find anything that said that I was allowed to redisibute by programs.

    I don't want to redisibute any of my programs right now, and I don't indend in the future either.
