Microsoft Certified Partner members receive internal and marketing use licenses for a comprehensive set of products, including Microsoft Office Developer Edition, Microsoft Windows operating systems, Visual Studio, and Microsoft BackOffice server and client products. As a Microsoft Certified Partner, it is important that you maintain properly licensed products. Microsoft Certified Partners receive a copy of the most recent version of each product in the monthly mailing delivered through their Microsoft Developer Network subscription and are licensed during the term of the 2000 Microsoft Certified Solution Provider Agreement to use the number of copies of each product specified in Table 1 of this Program Guide within their organization to encourage evangelism and product recommendations. Members are encouraged to install and use the most current versions of the products. Microsoft Certified Partner product licenses are intended for use by Microsoft Certified Partner staff on site for internal business purposes, application development, testing, training and demonstration.
