Technically, it means is that if you decide NOT to renew your Action Pack Subscription, you agree to remove all of the Action Pack software from any / all of your machines after one year. But for $199 a year (after the first year), it only makes sense to renew it. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Barro [mailto:ebarro at afsweb.com] Sent: Wed 9/8/2004 8:21 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Cc: Subject: RE: [AccessD] AHOO!!! Got my action pack What it probably means it that you're going to stop getting update CDs from M$ for any of the products you have licenses for so if they come out with Office 2004 or SQL server 2005 you will have to purchase a separate license if you wanted to use it. --- Eric Barro Senior Systems Analyst Advanced Field Services (208) 772-7060 http://www.afsweb.com -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W.

I know that the license "expires" after 1 year, but it appears that these are just real copies of these various things. I doubt they quit working. John W.

Got my action pack John: Thanks for the rundown. I've being trying to decide between that and the partner program. This one looks god. Except what's that about a one-year license. Does your copy of Office 2003 crap out after one year? Rocky ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
