Sell Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 license viable option?

trama09

My (old) school gave me a Microsoft Dreamspark account. The program gives me a lot of Microsoft products (keys) for free, which includes Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.

I see that it goes for $6199. Could I possibly sell my key? Is it something someone would actually buy?

That is braking the EULA and would void the licences.

Oh. Dangit :(

honestly no one that would actually buy the license for a single user would buy it from you unless it was $100.

Well that is $100 more than what I would have

Heh.

No, I gave away a dreamspark win 7 here on forums, but selling that stuff is near impossible. Also, 2015 community is free if you do open source, and people who can't afford the enterprise/ultimate usually can't utilize it either. You might do a good deed and give it away. You can kick a child later to even out the karma if you want.

It's not just free for open source you can use it for production as well (source):

 

An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following scenarios: in a classroom learning environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source projects.
 
For all other usage scenarios: 
In non-enterprise organizations, up to five users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or >$1 Million US Dollars in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.

 

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
