Visual Studio Discounts Available Through Resellers

You may have read the blog I posted earlier this week, Discounts Offered in Visual Studio 2008 Price Promotions, that explains serveral programs that offer ISVs discounts on tools.

If a you're looking for a reseller, we would recommend the following:

  • If you have five PCs or more, you should consider one of Microsoft’s Volume Licensing Programs because significant discounts are available. A licensing wizard is available on this site to help you choose the right program for their business.
  • If you are not purchasing in Volume Licensing you can buy from any of our resellers.
