title: Question about MSDN and commercial use
body: <p>I work for a small digital marketing company as a programmer, and we are not a Microsoft partner or any sort (Gold/Silver/Bronze). However, we use .NET.</p>
  
  <p>What I am confused about is that the developer before me has left, and he gets subscription DVDs of latest Microsoft tools, delivered to the company (Sql Server etc).</p>
  
  <p>I am assumign this is not a personal subscription, because if it was he'd have changed addresses.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, the subscription is Professional and we use the tools for commercial purposes. Is this allowed? Also, am I allowed to use the tools that we get, at home? I want to use Windows Server at home for dev purposes (learning it for my exams).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Thanks for the advice guys.</p>
  
  <p>The license is registered in my boss name but I think a networking guy has added himself as an additional user.</p>
  
  <p>MSDN FAQ says I can have up to 10 instances of the tools installed. I was thinking if I use a product key off MSDN, then that key is forever in use and no additional licenses can be installed.</p>
