I can't say we've had this issue. We roll out our VB Express on our image,
and certainly don't need to register each one!

Our IT staff found the Express version a pain to install and manage,
because every installation needs to be registered separately.

Frank,

Just for your information, Visual Studio Express Editions are free
forever.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/ 

10. How much will these products cost? 
Effective April 19th, 2006, all Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions are
free permanently. This pricing covers all Visual Studio 2005 Express
Editions including Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual J#, and
Visual Web Developer as well as all localized versions of Visual Studio
Express. 

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition has always been and will continue to be
a free download.

Regards,

Hello Colleagues,
We are in the budgeting phase for 2007. I am currently using vb.net
express. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about pricing for
priviate schools for vb.net whe I presume the express version is no
longer free.
 
Currently, for our school to get vb.net we would have to purchase the
full visual studio suite at just over $100 per license. has anyone
delved into the MSDN Academic Alliance? 
 
On another topic, how stable have people using vb,.net express found it
on their student systems? In my class of 26 years 9/10 students, we find
the product reasonably stable but some students get some strange system
errors occasionally (strange I suppoose because of the cryptic way the
application reports errors)...of course our system protection mechanisms
would not have anything to do with that....would they...??
