Well, a couple of things... A, yes I got a copy from my student book
store, but Lance is also a student, and therefore a valid user of
academic editions.  Second, I am allowed to transfer the software one
time to another user... the only question is if NT belongs to the Visual
C++ license or has it's own.  I'll answer that from the EULA Section 4.2
which deals with using NT Workstation without a license.  This indicates
that NT is licensed separately.  Therefore a valid entity to transfer
the license from one end user to another as is also specified in the
EULA.  As long as I don't use it, or maintain any part of the NT system,
here, I can transfer it.  Thanks for your concern however.
