Upgrade requirements for VS 2003 Enterprise Architect

Hello,

I bought Visual Studio 6.0 Professional several years ago as a college
student with the academic price/license. Microsoft's Upgrade Eligability
page (http://tinyurl.com/3mtga) does list VS 6.0 Professional as an upgrade,
but it mentions nothing about the academic license.

Does anyone know of a Microsoft page that states whether the academic
version may or may not be upgraded to a single [regular/retail] license of
Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect? I'd sure hate to pay money to
MS just to ask them this question. :-)

Thank you!

It doesn't cost you any money to ask Microsoft this question.
This is a presales question.
You can also find out information like this from retailers like CompUSA.

I'm fairly certain that the upgrade will be honored, but I don't have a
definitive answer.

For anyone else who might have this same question, I just contacted MS
support. VS 6 Pro academic does not qualify for the upgrade.

The issue is that you have the Academic Edition, as I hope was explained to
you. Microsoft never has, IME, had upgrade pricing for Academic editions,
including the $29 upgrade from Visual Studio .NET 2002 to 2003.
Given the low initial academic prices, it's understandable.

Enterprise Architect is no different to professional - apart from it

having some obscure BizTalk server component or something like that - apart
from that they're identical

Where are you getting your information? Look at the details page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ho.../choosing.aspx.

The Enterprise Architect & Developer versions includes full
(development-only) versions of all its major server software, Win Server,
SQL Server, Exchange Server etc. Along with the added collaboration
utilities (Visio, Visual Source Safe, etc.), I'd say Enterprise Architect
and Professional are quite a bit different.
