Hi everyone,

We're currently subscribed to the Microsoft Action Pack and evaluating our options now that MAPS is being phased out. We're considering enrolling in the Partner Launch Benefits program, but we need clarification before committing.

According to the official documentation, the package includes Visual Studio Professional subscriptions (without monthly Azure credit) for one user. However, it's unclear whether this subscription includes:

Windows OS product keys for development and testing

Windows Server licenses

SQL Server Developer or Standard edition licenses

And if included, how many activations are granted

We use Visual Studio to develop software and hardware solutions for Windows and Android platforms, and we need to know if this benefit will cover our dev test infrastructure (including 4 workstations and 2 additional dev test machines: one workstation and one server).

If anyone has enrolled in Partner Launch Benefits and can confirm what’s available under the Visual Studio subscription, especially regarding OS and server licenses, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
