.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / November 2007When can I buy upgrade to vs 2008?
When will I be able to buy the upgrade from vs 2003 pro to vs 2008 pro? I don't have an msdn subscription. Also I was going to use the trial version of vs 2008 in the interim but vs 2008 pro trial is not released yet. Does anyone know when it will be? If you super-need it now, then you can get an msdn subscription..and get it now. If you don't need it now, you can wait til februrary. If you have it available (geographically), then going to an InstallFest and getting a free copy would be smart: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=installfests+vs2008 > When will I be able to buy the upgrade from vs 2003 pro to vs 2008 pro? > I don't have an msdn subscription. > > Also I was going to use the trial version of vs 2008 in the interim but > vs 2008 pro trial is not released yet.

OK, does anyone know of how much more delay to expect with the trial? If they had the pro trial I'd be able to make do till the ship date. Is there any special headache I'd incur if I dl and install the team version of vs2008?

No, but you will not be able to upgrade, in place, to anything but a full version of Team Suite. If you wait a few days for the Pro trial, you can upgrade in place to Pro. SignatureGregory A.

I wasn't sure about the upgrade from team trial to pro, had wondered but didn't articulate in my post...thanks The launch event is February 27, 2008. The live event is in Los Angeles.

If you type the phrase "vs 2008 professional trial" into Yahoo! search, the top result is this: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/11/26/answers-to-a-few-vs-2008-trial -edition-tfs-2008-and-sourcesafe-questions.aspx If you then exert the energy to click the link, the very top question is this: "When will the trial edition of VS 2008 Professional be available for download? We shipped a free trial edition of VS 2008 Team Suite on the web last week. You can download it here. We are hoping to publish the free trial edition of VS 2008 Professional on the web later this week. Both can be used for free for 90 days after you install them. If you aren't a MSDN subscriber and want to get VS 2008 immediately this is a good way to get started."

I searched for an answer to this via google, web and 'groups' (usenet) and came up with nothing. > When will I be able to buy the upgrade from vs 2003 pro to vs 2008 pro? > I don't have an msdn subscription. > > Also I was going to use the trial version of vs 2008 in the interim but > vs 2008 pro trial is not released yet.
