Visual Studio Express 2010 license

Question

Can I use Visual C++ 2010 Express compiler for commercial use? As far as I know, it was always permitted prior to 2010 version, but now when I start IDE, it writes "For Evaluation Purposes Only". I can't find the full license file anywhere (not in installed files, not in Google), so I'm in doubt, should I use it, or should I downgrade to MSVC++2008 version.

Answer 1

I think you just need to register it. In the help menu click on register product. It will bring you on a web page where you can log in with a passport account and eventually you'll get a product key to enter into the application.

And yes, commercial use of the Visual Studio Express applications is allowed.
