I have signed up with BizSpark and it is a great deal, especially for people like myself in perennial startup mode. As part of BizSpark you get 3 year deployment licenses for software such as Windows Server and SQL Server. Is there any dedicated hosting companies that will allow you to use these licenses without having to pay for license...
Hi, was wondering if there are anyone else here that has signed up with the same program and could give me some advise. I've signed on to the Microsoft BizSpark program sometime earlier a month or two ago, and has activated the MSDN subscription that came with the program. The subscriber and keys section of the site was accessible after...
I am working full-time on my startup, but haven't registered a company yet. My (would be) company otherwise meets the criteria for BizSpark qualification. Given that I do not technically have a company yet, do I still qualify for the BizSpark program? Thanks, Arun ...
what experience people have had signing up to Microsoft BizSpark etc. Also what happens with Microsoft BizSpark if I do not ship the product in the end – e.g. someone makes me a job offer I cannot say no to? Is it OK to be doing contracting while developing the product to help fund the development? Update Also consider WebsiteSpark...

What are the various components of Visual Studio Team System each designed for? Our company was recently accepted to Microsoft BizSpark and now I have a blizzard of options to choose from. Right now I'm just needing version control and a coding environment but I'm not sure what distinguishes each of the available downloads. ...
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 agr...
Having a look around at WebsiteSpark from Microsoft - the deal is good (especially if you were looking to go down this path already). But I'm one of those people that likes to 'wait for the next version' if I'm in no rush to sign up. One question that's been bugging me is whether or not the program includes upgrades to Visual Studio and/...
Hi, Has any developer here signed up for Bizspark? I am making a web app which I hope can be commercially viable but has no commercial funding/backing or business plans. I am interested in Bizspark and I am developing a web app using MS technologies (.NET/SQL Server/ASP.NET etc) with the scope to be using Azure. Would I still qualify? ...
Hi, I just wondered if anyone has experienced waiting much longer than '3 business days' to get a yes or no to a Bizspark application? I applied in October 2009. My business qualifies (as far as I can see). I selected my UK network partner, Developer Fusion, and I'm still waiting. I did get an email response after about 4 weeks from a ...
I enrolled in a Microsoft BizSpark program last year and recently got an annual renewal notice. I clicked on the link and it takes me to the BizSpark homepage http://www.microsoft.com/BizSpark/ page. Even after signing in I can't seems to find the damn renewal link. Sent three emails to microsoft bizspark team but no reply. Does anyon...
My company plainly meets the acquirements to enrol in Bizspark. Yet so far I have not been able to. I first applied via a Networking partner but heard nothing back and then discovered the Networking partner I picked did not have contact details on their website so I re-applied with a different live ID directly to Microsoft and again ...
I am looking at bizspark but the page with the software seems outdated. I am wondering if anyone has a current list or can confirm if that is the current list. http://www.bizspark.com/v2/Programs/Pages/BizSpark_Software_and_Tools.aspx Like it still say you get Vs 2008? How about 2010? What version of 2010? How many licenses? ...
I've been shopping for dedicated windows server with unlimited sql server space for my new website. Sql server enterprise/work group license is really expensive, I am trying to see if I can use sql server web as license costs around $20 per month. But, I could not find hosting with my requirements. My budget is $100 - $150 per month. I...
