OTOH, how much would it cost to buy 10 licenses to Windows XP Pro, OfficeXP Pro, and SQL Server with 10 CALs? I think that paying 300 / year is waaaaaaay cheaper than paying all of those licenses, even if you have to subscribe for many years. If you use any of the other programs in the Action pack, the balance tips even further towards the Action Pack side. I have 6 machines in my Home Office, all of which have Windows XP Pro. All have OfficeXP Pro installed, although only 3 really need it. Three have SQL Server installed although only one really needs it. My dev work could use the free version. Anyway, it made sense for me. John W.

If you DON'T subscribe, then you agree to remove all the software from your machine. That's the reason I don't use the action pack.
