Re: Windows licensing for virtual labs

Jim,

I would take a look at the Technet subscriptions.  They are a good chunk of
money, but if you are seriously testing stuff it would be worth it.

They have two subscription types: Standard and Professional.  The Standard
doesn't include server products, application servers, etc...only the
Professional has that if you will be looking to "lab up" an entire
infrastructure.

Hi,
I'm sure plenty of you out there have personal virtual labs for doing
whatever nefarious business you get up to in your spare time. My
question is this; if you're an individual and you want to remain legal
where is the best place to get MS Windows licenses and media? Most
people will want several versions of Windows and the cost of retail
licenses would quickly mount.

Regards,
Jim
