I needed a couple more licenses for VB5 Professional, and purchased via some ads posted by Mr. James Lewis from "Internet Solutions", who is using the email address isolution@freeyellow.com, a single copy of Visual Basic 5.0 Professional. What I received, despite several clear messages that this had to be a complete retail version with full licenses, for business use, was the Academic Edition, with the Academic Edition license. See a copy of Mr. Lewis recent ad below. Since I do not qualify for an Academic Edition license, and have ZERO upgrade and ZERO MS Tech Support with an Academic Edition, I have asked James Lewis to send me the correct non-Academic Edition or proper license, but as of today, Wednesday 01/14/98, have not received the correct software or license. Mr. James Lewis from Internet Solutions was paid in cash, with a US Postal Money Order on Friday 01/02/98 and confirmed payment on Tuesday 01/06/98 This message is intended only as a Warning, at this point simply a record of events, as I have full confidence that Mr. Lewis is sending or has sent the proper software and/or license. As you may be aware, anyone with an Academic License does not qualify for MS Tech Support or upgrades and since this is for business use and must pass auditing requirements, it is completely useless at this point. **begin quote from recent ad Subject: FS:Visual basic 5 PRO From: James lewis <isolution@freeyellow.com> Date: 1998/01/05 I have VB5 pro for sale for $150.00 this includes shipping in us, this is not an upgrade it is the full version. email if interested.
