Install ACT for development? 1

[tcsbiz]

Hi,

I know nothing about ACT but have been a developer for a long time. We are currently using VB.NET 2005 and ACT 2008. I need to write an app. that writes directly to ACT. I looked up info. about the SDK and the DLLs.

What I want to know is, would it be considered a violation of the licensing agreement if I installed ACT 2008 on my development machine? How do other developers test their apps? I don't want to hit the live database.

I'm an employee and not a 3rd party consultant.

Thanks.
Tom

For development, I personally install it in VMWare instances.... as I trash them at least once a month, the 30-day trial isn't an issue

Good point Mike. Thanks. I'll look into using VMWARE. Do you know if ACT will work with Virtual PC?

I'm sure it will work ... at least I've heard of plenty of users who use it.

I don't use Virtual PC because it doesn't support USB ports.

Thanks for your help Mike.
I'm sure I'll need more of it in the near future.

Have a star on me.
