Commercial use of Visual Studio 2008 student version?

Question
0

Sign in to vote

While I was completing my Masters degree, my school offered the Visual Studio 2008 software for student purchase. I bought it while still a student, but now I notice that the DVDs say only students and faculty can use the software. I'm assuming this means I can no longer legitimately use it, since I am no longer a student, but thought I'd verify before chucking the software. So, can I still use the student priced Visual Studio for commercial software production even though I am no longer a student?

I could not find the forum for this sort of question, nor could I find any information after a fair amount of searching online. If someone can direct me to the correct topic I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
