My startup is considering applying for Microsoft BizSpark. I am unclear as to whether or not the software is still usable after 3 years or after the product goes live (whichever comes first). My worry is that we will develop for 2 years, go to production, and all of a sudden we will not be entitled to use the software as the BizSpark agreement will be over. Thank you

After you exit BizSpark, you'll be required to acquire new licenses for any server software you continue to use from Microsoft, that you acquired previously through the program.

This is true, but that's after the 3 years of being in the BizSpark program. After 3 three years you should have easily been able to make enough money to be able to purchase the server software that you need.

Well, hopefully. But considering how many businesses fail within three years, those that survive should probably be able to handle it, though.
