I current develop in VS2008 Std and have, in the past, used VS2005 for windows mobile development. I would like to move to developing the mobile application in .net35 so I need to get hold of VS2008 Pro (VS2010 does not allow development in WinMobile, just WinPhone). Unfortunately there is no upgrade/cross grade path from 2008 Std -> 2008 Pro and I can see no point in buying the product outright. So, with all this in mind, I can see the only option would be to purchase VS2010 Pro and use my downgrade rights to install and use VS2008 Pro.
Now I understand that MS licensing allows me to do this, but the acquisition of the media and product key are another story. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
GF
