Access runtime 2000 and MSDE 2000 licensing

We have MSDN for previous years which contain MS Office 2000 Developer,
but we did not buy MS Office Developer 2000 itself as a separate product.
The question is whether we are permitted to redistribute Access 2000 runtime
with our application?

Thanks.

Hi, Tom.

Do you have in your hand the MS Office 2000 Developer Edition Certificate of
Authenticity and the Product Key? If so, then you may redistribute the
Access 2000 Runtime.

An alternative is to have a receipt in your hand for your MSDN subscription
in any year that MS Office 2000 Developer Edition was an item listed as part
of your MSDN subscription. If you don't know which years that the MS Office
2000 Developer Edition was part of the MSDN subscriptions you previously
purchased, then please contact Microsoft Product Service Support, because
they no longer have this list on their public Web site. If you have a proof
of purchase of one of the correct MSDN subscriptions, then you may
redistribute the Access 2000 Runtime. Plenty of them didn't offer MS Office
2000 Developer Edition, so make sure that you have the receipt for the
purchase of a subscription that did, if you didn't keep the Certificate of
Authenticity and Product Key.

Remember that your current MSDN subscription allows redistribution of the
Access 2003 Runtime, so you may use that if you don't have proof of
ownership of the MS Office 2000 Developer Edition from your previous MSDN
subscriptions.

HTH.

The Office 2000 Developer tools you received via your MSDN
subscription is exactly the same in all respects as if you had
purchased it separately.
