Rocky,

>> Are your unused licenses still good? <<

I haven't read the ENTIRE EULA. I do know, however, that after two years
I'll have to cough up the ready for a regularly priced MSDN Universal
subscription.

As far as licenses, each of the products that require those 25-digit
serial numbers come with a generic number that you get once you
subscribe (it's available on the MSDN web site for subscribers to the
Empower program). I've installed Windows XP Pro on four machines out of
the allowable five. Every product can be used on five workstations. For
example, SQL Server can have up to five users.

"Unused licenses?" Again, the serial number for each installation of,
say, Microsoft Office is the same. I don't know what happens at the end
of two years. I suspect it's more-or-less the honor system. When I
signed up it seemed to me that the Empower people hadn't really gotten
their act together yet. I actually received a letter saying that my
subscription was ended just a week after it started. I also got a nice
apology letter, but it showed me that they weren't geared up for it too
well.
