Hi,

Seen on the VS.NET 2005 Launch page : >>All attendees will receive a full
version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Studio 2005 Standard
Edition.<<

Will this version be crippled (in time) or will this truly be the full
(Standard) version?

Cheers,
Dan
 
AFAIK, these are license limited products, not time bombed. I have no
confirmation on that, but it would make sense. The Standard will be fine to
learn, but pro developers will likely upgrade. The SQL Server will most
likely only have a few CALs (5 would be my guess, but that is a guess), which
will mean licenses for unlimited use or more than 5 users; once again,
businesses will upgrade.

It is a good deal for the attendies, however. :-)
