I see that most personal/standard editions of deveopment software (like MSVC or BCB) prohibits selling programs made with the software. Does an ameteur developer like me need to save around $1000 to make a few bucks off a program?

The standard edition of VC++.Net is $89 at Amazon and allows selling your software, so the answer is no. Introductory and Academic editions do limit you that way, however.

I cannot speak for the Introductory edition, but for the Academic edition this is not true. It has no restrictions on what you can do with the software you create.


God puts an apple tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden and says, do what you like guys, oh, but don''t eat the apple. Surprise surprise, they eat it and he leaps out from behind a bush shouting "Gotcha." It wouldn''t have made any difference if they hadn''t eaten it... because if you''re dealing with somebody who has the sort of mentality which likes leaving hats on the pavement with bricks under them you know perfectly well they won''t give up. They''ll get you in the end. -- Douglas Adams
