Commercial use of express edition of VWD possible?

[sumana_m]

I have downloaded the freely available express edition of Visual Web
Developer. If I develop an application using this, will I be able to
market my product for commercial purposes without having any license
problem??
Any information on this will be helpful

[Juan T. Llibre]

Short answer : yes.

could you pl provide any link on the web where it officailly says so? I
just want to be sure that since it is a freeware, license should not be
an issue when being deployed and used at client sites

The best thing for you to do is read VWD's EULA (End User Licensing Agreement).
Search for it under your VWD installation directory.

It will have all the info you need.
Remember that anything that the EULA doesn't specifically forbid is OK.

VWD is only free as an incentive to get you to buy it. The version you
donwload will expire next March (I think), at which point you will
either have to buy it (or VS), or move to another development method.

Wrong. It's free forever.

Wrong. It doesn't have an expiration date.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. When I installed it, it was limited to
one year. Didn't know they'd changed their minds on that. Nice change
for MS to give something that good away for free.

You will need to download the "fully free" version, and install that, though.
The version you downloaded/installed won't run forever for free.

Thanks for the heads-up. As it happens, I've just got a copy of VS2005
Professional (on its way home from the US with my father), so for me
it's an academic question, but this will probably be of use to others
who installed it early.

Thanks again for the info.

VWD is only free as an incentive to get you to buy it. The version
you donwload will expire next
March (I think), at which point you will either have to buy it (or

I have 2 more questions on this

1. Can we install VWD express edition along with .net framework 2.0,
sdk, sqlserver express edition and IIS on Windows XP home? If no, how
can I upgrade it to XP? also will it have any affect on web application
development?
2. Can we develop mobile web applications in the express edition of VWD
(since it provides an option of adding a mobile web page in a website)

It will be very useful if you could provide answers for this

Thanks
ASMJ
