Getting Microsoft dev and test licenses almost for free

If you are a .NET, Java or Delphi developer, make sure to take a look at our advanced logging tool SmartInspect.

“This means that for a software shop with five developers, it would cost USD $12,500 per year to get all the required development and testing licenses – and this doesn’t even include production licenses for a workgroup server or something similar. This is quite expensive for an early-stage ISV. But since Microsoft really wants you to develop for their platforms, they started a partner program called Empower for ISVs to make all the needed licenses available for a fraction of the costs.”
