I would run this through you legal department or by your lawyer ASAP.  I am absolutely certain you are in violation of MS licensing.  I went through this on a consulting project about 6 years ago.  The Director of MIS (whom we fired) installed just about everything from their MSDN subscription.  Long story short they were 250k behind on their licensing based on the install base of the products in their enviroment.  MS was made aware of this and sent a cease and desist or PAY.  FYI they don't give discounts to get you to go legit :)   Thank you,   SiftX Support 866-891-0086 808-874-8916 Fax www.siftx.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Suneel Jhangiani To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 5:58 PM Subject: [Modus] Off Topic An MS Action Pack is the cheapest solution to a licensed copy. In the UK an action pack is 199 UK Pounds (about $250) and includes licenses for about $16,000 worth off MS Software (including MS SQL 2000). As this is an annual payment it includes all the latest versions.   ----- There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are good with words, and those who are... erm... thingy   (--------------------------------)         {(((((( (     Suneel Jhangiani           )        /_  _  ) (    Technical Director          )       ( .  .   ) ( Inter-Computer Technology Ltd. )        ( /   ) (----------------------------------oOOo------------oOOo----) ( 40 James Street                Tel: +44 (0) 20 7486 9601 ) ( London W1U 1EU                 Fax: +44 (0) 7050 678 978 ) ( United Kingdom               Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     ) (             Website: http://www.inctech.com              ) (----------------------------------------------------------) From: Admin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 February 2004 22:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Off Topic   We borrowed the media from a friend and ordered licenses.  So, we basically paid $1400 for two pieces of cardboard :-)  You can buy legal licenses through pricewatch.com distributors.     AK Internet Less expensive and more personal than Earthlink, AOL, and MSN 641 E. 10th Avenue Bowling Green, KY  42101 270-793-0647 voice 270-843-7532 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Essary To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 2:09 PM Subject: [Modus] Off Topic   Howdy....
