Hi All,

I have downloaded Visual Studio 2010 professional trial version. It says it will expire after 90 days. Can i continue again by uninstalling and re installing the same product?

If not, how many times can i reinstall that product after expiration.

I needed this for a small application development in our office, for which buying would be costlier than the project itself.

Thanks and Regards,

For Official purpose one should use licensed version of VS.

No, you can't.

For one thing, that would be in violation of the licence agreement you have entered into with Microsoft when you downloaded and installed the trial version.

Why not install and use the Express version instead if cost is so important to you on this project? It's free, and there is no need to "steal" software in the way you propose. If you can't do it with the express version, then you should be pricing the full version into your quote - it's not that expensive!

Remember, if you go your route, then you would have to download and install a new copy of the trial version every 90 days until you stop supporting the project! Bite the bullet and buy it...
