Visual Studios 6 Enterprise to VS 2005/2008/2010 Upgrade

Question

Good Evening,

To all who know Microsoft's upgrade policy. I own VS6 Enterprise. Is VS6 Enterprise eligible for upgrade? I also own pro vs 2005/2008 but would like the enterprise edition upgraded. I have found posts that say yes and no. What is the real policy?

Thanks again for your comments. I love stack over flow!

Answer 1

The short answer: Microsoft Licensing is confusing as hell. The best way to get a good answer on this:

1. Go here to the Visual Studio Pricing Page
2. Click the Price Comparison Chart tab
3. Click the Request a call back link

This way you'll get someone who can give you a definite answer calling you back (same day when I had a question a few weeks back).

Answer 2

My guess is "no". It's like asking what's the upgrade policy from Windows 95 to Windows 7. Too many generations in the middle.
