saying, but I also need to know for sure. I contacted an MSDN rep via the
800 number, and she couldn't understand the question, so I had her transfer
me to sales, who said you DID need a separate VS.Net license if you were
going to write code that is used for sale or in a production server.

for this?
As usual, the sales guys are full of it :-)
The code you write using the VS included in the subscription can be sold,
distributed, run, whatever in a production environment. The confussion
arrises because you can't run it on (for example) an MSDN version of Windows
2000, in a production environment. But so long as your customer has a retail
copy of the OS (and any other required programs, such as SQL Server), they
can run the code that you developed.
HTH, Loz.

Nor on Sundays in Texas and several other southern, hip states. There
are exceptions, like if you're affiliated in any way with a southern
bapist organization, but for most, Sundays are no-go.
