Re: New Release?

As a partner, if you have bought the software access option, you can 
download AE - it is at version 6 in that catalog at the moment, but 
it will likely get 7 fairly soon - that was the case with 6.

But it looks like the purchase is a per-seat matter - or connected to 
upgrades as someone else said - but all this is very murky, as that 
price information is for those who did not get 5722-WDS - of course, 
it is pathetic to pay 4600 (list for AE, 1500 list for Std) for a 
product when you can get the entire MS subscription for much less - 
all OS all IDE etc.

The how to buy for WDS has stuff about getting unlimited licenses to 
WDSC - of course, that page only speaks of version 5.1.2 - sheesh as 
they say in chat rooms. Nothing there about AE at all.

If I had time I would call Techline and see what is up. I don't have 
the time, so I download from the partner catalog and am happy with 6.

Vern
