Hi Gustav et al, Thank you Gustav for your commenting/quoting Add-In Express licensing conditions. So if, e.g., I will develop a sample MS Access Developer Assistant Add-in, publish it on my site for free download, and I will make this add-in "armored" with pluggable architecture, and then I describe this architecture in an Access Developer Assistant Pluggable Architecture CodePlex project then everybody who will make a plug-in to this add-in, publish it within CodePlex (or on their own site/blog), and describe it in an article/note within that CodePlex project/own site/blog - all they can get a free license for one of Add-in Express software products? Correct? How to make a first plug-in without having Add-In Express license - this is a technical question - it can be done - late binding can help here... Still not sure Add-In Express Owners will like such an Access Developer Assistant project or not. Although they promise(?) just a license for one their product for free - and they have several software products an active MS Office/.NET developer would probably want to purchase additionally to a free license: - Add-in Express 2009 for Microsoft Office and .net; - Add-in Express 2010 for Internet Explorer and Microsoft .net; - Security Manager 2009 for Microsoft Outlook; - Add-in Express 2008 for Outlook Express and Microsoft .net. So Add-In Express owners shouldn't resist to an "Access Developer Assistant Add-In Initiative" as if it happens to be implemented in a useful software product, it could become a good "promotion campaign" for them?

All you need to do is to review Add-in Express on your blog. Just drop us a note using the contact form and we will get back to you to discuss details. </quote> /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 09-02-2010 18:51 >>> .. (I should note again - I'm not sure yet how to "share" Add-In Express license and PIAs for an open source project - it might be an issue blocking this probable project...)
