Can you find it for me, please?There are several snags in this plan of yours.
A. Up until this email of yours, I wasn't aware of the fact that I can get Connectix through MSDN. This is particularily troubling as I have paid good money for both VMWare and MSDN Universal. Upon inspection I could not find Connectix in my DVD collection, but could find it in their subscribers download section. I'm now wondering what else I have paid for but have not received.
That is a known issue with the DVD collection. It's on their FAQ somewhere.
I tried searching for both "Connectix" and "Virtual PC". Nothing. Their index software doesn't even work on my computer. All in all, their index is below reproach.
Unless it's for development purposes. This applies for the duration of the license too. I can install one production version of Windows XP/Office/whatever (servers not included - the license does not cover servers at all). I can install up to 10 Windows versions/Office/whatever for development purposes, and up to 3 (IIRC) servers. I don't think the license expires as such.B. There is no need to stop using the products when the audit arrives. The MSDN license is not revoked when the year is up. All that happens is that updates stop arriving. I am not sure how this will cooperate with product activation - I have so far avoided doing activation for all products I installed. MS practically begs you not to activate an MSDN installed product unless you really have to, and that is one recommendation I'm going to follow.
Not exactly. When you license MSDN Universal you probably licensed one copy of it, meaning you can install exactly one instance of each product. If you install more than one instance, then at the end of the license period you either pay for extra licenses of MSDN or the software, or uninstall them.
In any case, there is no need for me to regret buying VMWare. Like I mentioned before, the free alternatives are not up to par (more's the pitty), and connectix doesn't run on my choice of host system.
I never said you should regret using VMWare.
