Hi Jorge
A simple answer would be yes . what happens it as follows . when you
subscribe from MSDN , you receive a monthly package of CDs of DVDs that
contain the latest versions and updates of all the product included in the
MSDN . also you have access to what is called MSDN subscription download
with your membership id where you can load an ISO image CD of all version
of the products included in the MSDN ( old and new versions ) . Hope this
explains it .

Adding to the pile... Software you get as part of MSDN Pro isn't
licensed for "every day use" (with the exception of Office) so... you'll
get the updates but they're not really licensed the way you may think
they are.
