WebSiteSpark provides software licenses that you can use for three years at no cost. Once enrolled, you can download and immediately use the following software from Microsoft:
•3 licenses of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
•1 license of Expression Studio 3 (which includes Expression Blend, Sketchflow, and Web)
•2 licenses of Expression Web 3
•4 processor licenses of Windows Web Server 2008 R2
•4 processor licenses of SQL Server 2008 Web Edition
•DotNetPanel control panel (enabling easy remote/hosted management of your servers)
The Windows Server and SQL Server licenses are for you to do both development and production work. Also, the production licenses can be leveraged in a couple of different ways. You can do 1 production server with 4 processors or 4 servers with 1 processor each. These servers can also be either dedicated hardware or virtualized offerings. If you want, you can throw the licenses on your own server with the “self-hosted” model or you can enroll with one of the hosters that have signed up as a Network Partner. As a Network Partner, they will pass the savings of the licenses on to you and only charge you for the infrastructure work. You can find all of the hosting network partners on the WebsiteSpark page.
