I downloaded Visual Studio 2011 Express beta and it says it is for debugging, developing, etc. but not for deploying / releasing software or apps.
Am I excluded from releasing anything I develop with it? Can I copy the code over to another (unreleased?) version later?
Is there another (like a paid non-express beta?) version I should consider buying?
I googled it, but didn’t see any easy answers.
Visual Studio 11 hasn’t been released yet. That’s why you can only get a beta version. If you’re developing a .NET 4.5 app, that’s in beta too. Ditto Windows 8, if it’s a Metro app.
If you’re only using .NET 4 (or earlier) you can get Visual Studio 2010 (paid or Express editions). Otherwise, just wait until the platform you’re developing against is released too…
