Jim,
Let me muddy the water here a little more:
I had the same question a few years ago that you do now,
and here is the results of my endevors to find the answer:
I talked to our I.S. department and our parent I.S.
department, both of them, assured me that we could do
exactly that: put a copy of any of the MS development
tools on my work machine and my home machine so I could
work at home. This would be alright because we could
garentee that only 1 of the copies would ever be used at
a time.
Now this didn't ring totally true with me and just kind
of kept nagging at me in deep dark recesses of my
concience, so after a month or so, I called MS legal
department. The answer I recieved from them was: "Under
no cercumstances are you authorized to have 2 copies of
the software installed." They further explained that
the "2nd copy", alluded to in the software agreement, is
a backup and maintained as such.
I've about 30 copies out on tape backup, how that works,
I'll leave up to the corporate lawyers because that one
doesn't nag at my concience. But as a result of their
promptings and clarification, I took the software off my
computer at home and basically lived at the office for
following 6 months.
I hope this helps,
Les

I have a very heavy workload over the next year and
I wish to do somework from home.
Does the EULA of Visual Studio .NET 2003 permit me
to install a copy onmy home PC? I have a valid license through my work and
I will be the onlyindividual using it. There is wording about "copies" in
the EULA, but I'mnot sure what it allows.
Thanks,
Jim
