Hi John, You are interpretting the statement differently than I then.... "The software products that are included with the subscription are NFD versions. You can use them only for testing, evaluation, demonstration, training, and educational purposes. For example, you can use the Action Pack software to host your company's intranet but the software cannot be used to host a commercial Web site. This is considered a production environment that is outside the scope of the software's intended purpose." and Item (b) below under reasons for termination.... This is an excerpt from the agreement: Subscription Term and Termination. The term of this Subscription is one (1) year from the date you purchase the Subscription. It is important that you maintain properly licensed Microsoft products. You agree that Microsoft may terminate this Agreement, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, at any time without prior written notice to you in the event that you: (a) Violate the End User License Agreements accompanying Microsoft products; (b) Resell, transfer, or use the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Product Licenses for any purpose other than demonstration, testing, education, or evaluation; or (c) Engage in, or participate with any third party in, the unauthorized manufacture, duplication, distribution or use of any Microsoft products or otherwise infringe any other intellectual property right of Microsoft. (d) Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, you agree to immediately cease use of and to destroy all copies of any Microsoft Products provided with or licensed under the Subscription, including but not limited to, all Not for Retail Distribution software media and all Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Product License copies.
