Hola, soy estudiante de Sistemas y estoy comenzando a realizar mi práctica profesional, me han encomendado un proyecto para el cual necesito Visual Basic pero la empresa no comprará la licencia para la version Profesional asi que me descargue la version Express sin embargo he leído que a pesar de ser una herramienta buena tiene sus limitaciones y no quisiera toparme mas adelante con problemas para poder entregar mi proyecto en tiempo y forma.
Me encontré con eso de DreamSpark para descargar las ediciones profesionales de los programas de Microsoft asi que me registré con mi información de estudiante universitario y al leer las condiciones para la descarga no logro llegar a la conclusion de que si es posible o no que use Microsoft Visual Studio para poder realizar mi proyecto el cual lo voy a llevar a cabo en una empresa, no voy a sacar dinero con él puesto que esta práctica es un requisito por parte de la Universidad, sin embargo también dice que el programa es para uso personal y que no debo permitir que nadie mas use mi cuenta para acceder al programa pero yo no pienso hacer eso, o sea yo desarrollaría el proyecto y la empresa usaría el software que yo desarrollé con mi licencia gratuita pero no se, hay ciertas contradicciones (tipico de los terminos y condiciones del software) que me tienen confuso.
A ver si alguien me puede echar la mano.
Miren, estos son los terminos, marque en negrita lo que encontré mas importante y sobre todo lo que me hace dudar entre usarlo o no:
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT - MICROSOFT DREAMSPARK STUDENT
This is a subscription agreement (“agreement”) between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you for the Microsoft DreamSpark student offering (“Student Subscription”). Please read it. For purposes of this agreement the term “software” applies to the software provided to you under the Student Subscription, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.
1. DEFINITION OF YOU OR YOUR.
“You” or “your” means a person enrolled in and attending courses that lead to academic credit or certification through an educational institution.
2. TERMS FOR STUDENT SUBSCRIPTION.
a. Student Subscription.
Subject to the terms of this agreement, the Student Subscription provides subscription to access software. Microsoft may change the software or other offerings that it makes available under the Student Subscription at any time without prior notice to you.
b. End of Student Status.
If you no longer qualify for the Student Subscription (by failing to meet the definition of "you" above), then your Student Subscription will terminate; however, you may continue to use the software you obtained prior to termination of your student status subject to the terms of this agreement.
c. Termination.
Microsoft may terminate the entire DreamSpark program or your specific Student Subscription at any time without prior notice to you for any reason or no reason.
3. STUDENT SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS.
a. Student Subscription Software.
Except for terms that explicitly state that they override these terms, the terms of this agreement supersede and control over any conflicting license terms you may encounter in the software, even if installation of the software requires you to “accept” a separate end user license agreement or if you are otherwise obligated to accept other terms.
b. Installation and Use Rights.
You may install and use on your devices no more than two copies of each of the software offerings made available to you through the Student Subscription, but only (a) to support your education; (b) in non-commercial research; or (c) to design, develop, test, and demonstrate software programs for the above purposes. The Student Subscription and software are personal to you. You may not permit others to access the software using your Student Subscription. You may not transfer your Student Subscription.

You may not use the software provided as part of the Student Subscription:
for commercial purposes (except as permitted under Section 3(d); or
to develop or maintain your own administrative or IT systems.

If you use the Student Subscription software to create software programs, you may only commercially use or distribute them upon the purchase of appropriate commercial license(s) for the software. You may however submit software programs that you create using the Student Subscription software to Microsoft app stores, including for revenue.
e. Other terms. If your principal place of residence is in Germany, the following provision applies:
Using Windows Desktop Operating Systems. Your Student Subscription includes certain Windows desktop operating system products. You may not install any such product on any computer that is not already licensed to run a full version of a Windows operating system on it. Therefore, a valid Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for a Windows operating system must first be affixed to any such computer.
4. NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE.
You may not resell the software provided as part of the Student Subscription.
5. SUPPORT SERVICES.
Software and other services provided under the Student Subscription are provided “as is,” we do not provide support services for them.

7. APPLICABLE LAW.
a. United States.
If you acquired the Student Subscription in the United States, Washington state law governs the interpretation of this agreement and applies to claims for breach of it, regardless of conflict of laws principles. The laws of the state where you live govern all other claims, including claims under state consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort.
b. Outside the United States.
If you live in any other country, the laws of that country apply.
8. LEGAL EFFECT.
This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your country. This agreement does not change your rights under the laws of your country if the laws of your country do not permit it to do so.
9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
The Student Subscription is provided “as-is.” You bear the risk of using/participating in it. Microsoft gives no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this agreement cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, Microsoft excludes the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
10. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES.
You can recover from Microsoft and its suppliers only direct damages up to U.S. $5.00. You cannot recover any other damages, including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect or incidental damages.
This limitation applies to
anything related to the software, services, content (including code) on third party Internet sites, or third party programs; and
claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law.
It also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.
