    VS 2013

    My trial of VS2013 has just expired.
    Should I purchase my own version or try to get a copy off my next client?

    Is it worth getting my own MSDN subscription?

      Are the express editions not available? bizspark is a good option. Another is the Design & Dev Action Pack - £360/yr?

        I've had a search myself but does anyone know if Dynamics AX 2012 is available via that or BizSpark?

        My searches so far have drawn a blank.

        Or does anyone know what's the best way of obtaining a copy for development purposes (paid or otherwise) ?

        Cheers

          Bargain!
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              This is why I was also wondering about the MSDN subscription, as I would like to refresh myself on SharePoint 2010 Server.

                MS Action Pack, seems to contain MSDN.

                  Looks good https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/u...spx#Devandtest

                  and includes Dynamics! Still can't figure out if you get VS2013 to actually download!

                    Yes, because I am on the Action Pack subscription. You get a minimalist subscription however. And they changed the Office 365 sub. from 250 seats to just 5.
                    The only bits I use are Office365, VS and SQL Server and a couple of Win8 licences.

                    I'm thinking of switching over to Bizspark and paying for the Office365 subscription, probably would work out cheaper for me.
