I'm not sure, but I think the MSDN license does not permit
production use of server products.
Ah, yes, the dirty little secret of Microsoft licensing. The other one
being the Action Pack - for $350/yr you can get all of Microsoft's
non-developer tools on a subscription basis. For evaluation purposes,
and you have to be a Microsoft Partner (i.e. you filled out a web
form). I know several consultants who run their businesses on the
Action Pack because they couldn't afford to actually buy the required
licenses. They then recommend these products to their clients.
I tell them, "don't pirate* - use free software". This is actually a
very successful tactic with redneck crowd, but not so much with
Microsoft consultants. Ah, well, I tried to set them straight.
