visual-studio - VS2010 升级版 - 来自 express 的 'upgrading' 是否合法？

Question

我从一个不可靠的来源读到，从 VS Express(免费)“升级”时，购买 VS2010 升级版(与完全零售相反)是有效的许可途径 - 任何人都可以确认或反驳这一点吗？

谢谢

Answer 1

看起来这是true :

Before you buy

Eligible for upgrade with any previous version of Visual Studio or any other developer tool.

Visual Studio 2010 Professional includes a 12-month MSDN Essentials subscription. MSDN Essentials gives you access to core Microsoft platforms: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Datacenter R2.

Special information for trial users If you're using a trial version of Visual Studio Professional and you buy the Visual Studio 2010 Professional Upgrade, you can use the product key you get on the receipt page to convert your trial version to a full version.

这似乎是说您可以从任何竞争产品或任何现有版本的 Visual Studio 升级，甚至是试用版。它没有明确提及 Express 版，但您始终可以安装试用版并进行升级。
