&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Partners who have earned both the ISV and CDS competency are awarded licenses for the first competency earned only (no incremental licenses are granted for the second competency earned).&amp;#160; &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Licenses for Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition with MSDN Premium Subscription are 5 for Certified and 25 for Gold Certified partners.&amp;#160; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These changes have been updated on the portal for &lt;a href="https://partner.microsoft.com/global/program/competencies/isvsolutions/40011919"&gt;ISV&lt;/a&gt; and are in progress (estimated live date is February 28) for &lt;a href="https://partner.microsoft.com/global/program/competencies/cdsolutions/40020230"&gt;CDS&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160;
