Visual Studio Industry Partners (VSIP) program not needed to build a Domain Specific Languages (DSL)
After listening to a DotNetRocks podcast that interviewed Kevin McNeish on DSLs and Software Factories, I was curious to check out the DSL toolkit for internal use by our developers. After installing the Visual Studio 2008 SDK, I started seeing a “VSIP License Required” in the Visual Studio 2005 splash screen, and “A VSIP license is required to use this version of Microsoft Visual Studio” in the about box of Visual Studio 2005. However, within Visual Studio 2008’s about box I see “Visual Studio SDK License”. I was confused and wondered exactly when a VSIP license is required. I contacted someone at Microsoft and received clarification on this.
