[AccessD] Action Pack Subscribers

Gary,

AFAICT you ARE allowed (and encouraged) to use it to run your business, what
you are not supposed to do is use it to host commercial applications like
web sites, client stuff etc.

Being a partner is just a matter of signing up to be a partner. Not a big
deal.

It's $300 or so a year to subscribe. Includes 10 licenses to Office and
Windows and one each to the server OS's and back end stuff like Exchange.
You are not supposed to be using it to run your business though. Supposed to
be used to learn and demonstrate to customers and to practice installing if
you are a system builder.
