Access runtime 2000 and MSDE 2000 licensing

#1 (**permalink**) 28-Jul-2006, 08:23 AM

Hello,

We develop a software solution based on MSDE 2000 and Access 2000 runtime.
We've got MSDN Universal subscription.
Is it correct that MSDN Universal subscription is enough to have a
distribution license?

Thanks

Sorry. It's not quite that simple. MSDN subscriptions are in the middle of
a transition and you'll likely have a "Premium" subscription, not the
"Universal" one you originally purchased. For more information, please see
the following Web pages:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/pr...n/default.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/pr...iptions/chart/

Therefore, you need the Access Developer Extensions that comes with some
versions of Visual Studio Tools For Office 2005 in order to get the unlimited
redistribution license for the Access 2003 Runtime. The good news is that
this comes with your current MSDN subscription. The bad news is that it
doesn't automatically give you a license to redistribute the Access Runtime
for any other version. That said, the Access 2003 Runtime can run Access
2000 databases, although I'm not sure if there are any problems with MSDE
2000 database applications other than the usual headaches of the Package and
Deployment Wizard, as I've never tried it.

Hi,

1. Does it make a difference that are having MSDN subscription
for many years, before Access 2003 has been released?

Is where any way to purchase Access 2000 runtime redistribution license?

2. What about MSDE 2000 redistribution license? Does it come with MSDN
subscription (Premium or Enterprise) ?

Thanks.

Hi, Tom.

Yes. If you have the paperwork (i.e., Certificate of Authentication or
other paperwork that proves to Microsoft you own the Microsoft Office 2000
Developer Edition) for the Access 2000 Runtime, then you're good to go.

> Is where any way to purchase Access 2000 runtime redistribution license?

If you don't already own Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Edition, then
you'll have to find someone who will sell it to you, because Microsoft
doesn't sell it any more. Perhaps you can find a bargain in an eBay online
auction, at http://www.eBay.com, or one of the online used software vendors
might have the older versions of Microsoft Office Developer for sale from
time to time. Check any of the following for current availability and

The MSDE 2000 redistribution license came with Visual Studio 6.0 and
Microsoft Office Professional Edition on up (Premium, ODE, et cetera), but I
don't remember exactly which version of Office authorized MSDE 2000, because
it came out after the first MSDE version. It was either Office 2000 Pro or
Office XP Pro. It's possible that the MSDE 2000 redistribution license also
came with Visual Studio 2002 .Net, but I don't know for sure. Check your
EULA's for the Microsoft products you own.

If you have the developer tools for Access 2000 then there's nothing
to stop your distributing things based on Access 2000. It's just that
those tools wont support distributing later versions.

Also, MSDE is a freebie. You can distribute that WITH YOUR
APPLICATION whether or not you have the developer tools.

I looked in the SQL Server 2000 BOL Jan. '04 edition, which had links to
Microsoft's lists of products which came with the redistribution license for
MSDE 2000, but all the links went nowhere. I finally found this link, which
explains that this downloadable version of the MSDE 2000 is free for new
installations:

Our current MSDN does not contain Office Developer 2000,
but we have also MSDN subscription for the years when MSDN was containing
Office Developer 2000.
Does it mean that we own Access 2000 runtime redistribution license now?

Thanks.

Yes. With or without any other license you have the right to
promulgate an Access application you create to the whole wide world.

For those years/versions for which you do have the developer tools you
can freely distribute the RUNTIME version of Access with (and only
with) your application. The developer tools will help you create
installation setups that you can ship out on CD/DVD or over the net.
The developer tools must be those supplied for the version of Access
of your application.

If your customers already have retail Access then you can simply
distribute your application, including MSDE if applicable, to them
without needing the developer tools. I recommend that you distribute
the front end as an MDE so that others can't mess with your code.

Hi, Tom.

It sure sounds like it. Do you have a receipt for your MSDN subscription
purchase from any of the years when the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
Edition was part of the MSDN subscription, or do you have your Certificate
of Authenticity and Product Key for your copy of Microsoft Office 2000
Developer Edition? Those are sufficient evidence that would survive a
Microsoft audit.
