Default Resale of Acedemic Versions - 11-20-2003 , 05:59 PM






Hello I'm the owner of an acedemic version of Visual
Studio .NEt 2003. I wish to sell this product to either
someone I know, or on an online site such as Ebay. Now, do
I have to sell to people that fit the criteria which I had
to? Or can I just resell it to anyone of choosing?

The Academic Edition can only legally be sold to a person with the required
academic credentials, AFAIK. If you've ever purchased from an online
Academic vendor, you know they require documentary evidence before
fulfilling your order.
Before this thread heads down the path of requests for posts of EULA's or
whatever, The *best* place to get a definitive answer is Microsoft.
I'm not a Microsoft employee. I'm telling you what I *believe* to be true.

Actually this one is in the EULA and it says that all owners of the
software must be a educational user and someone posted the portion of
the EULA that stated this fact in the Academic vs. Pro thread.

just be aware that your local laws (which superceed ANY EULA) may provide
"fair use" privilages - so just after you get off the phone from MS have a
dig around for your local consumer laws.
