Msdn subscription - Software subscriptions

1 The software generally comes on specially marked MSDN discs, but

contains the identical retail or volume-license software as it is

released to the public.



1 However, a business caught with an office full of PCs and servers running

the software included in an MSDN subscription without the appropriate

non-MSDN licenses for those machines would be treated no

differently in a software licensing audit than if the software were

obtained through piracy.



1 Microsoft's MSDN license agreement makes a specific exception for Microsoft Office, allowing the

subscription holder to personally use it for business purposes without

needing a separate license — but only with the MSDN Premium Subscription and even so only directly related to the design, development and test and/or

documentation of software projects as stated in the MSDN licensing FAQ



1 An MSDN subscriber is entitled to activate as many copies as needed

for his/her own development purposes
