BizSpark-启动阶段的启动免费软件和生产许可​​证

Last November, Microsoft started a new program called BizSpark for startups that's pretty sweet. It's pretty not-too-evil also.

去年11月，微软为初创公司启动了一个名为BizSpark的新程序，非常不错。 这也不是太邪恶。

If you are a small business and you sell a product or service to your customers, you might want to check it out. Here's the criteria:

如果您是小型企业，并且向客户出售产品或服务，则可能需要签出。 这是标准：

After three years, they assume you've either succeeded and are making money, or you're gone. If you're around and you want to continue, you pay for your MSDN subscriptions the regular way, and if you want to keep using your production licenses, you pay for those using the Service Provider Licensing program.

三年后，他们认为您要么成功并赚钱，要么就走了。 如果您在附近并且想要继续，则可以按常规方式为MSDN订阅付费，而如果要继续使用生产许可证，则可以为使用服务提供商许可计划的用户付费。

If you want in, you need to find a sponsor, and there's a list on the site. If you can't find one, though, Bill Staples (a General Manager at MSFT) can sponsor you (details on his site, click "Contact Me" under his picture) which is nice of Bill.

如果需要，您需要找到一个赞助商，并且网站上有一个列表。 不过，如果找不到您， Bill Staples(MSFT的总经理)可以为您提供赞助(在他的网站上的详细信息，请单击其图片下的“与我联系” )，这对Bill来说很不错。

BizSpark is for companies that SELL something (product or service), not for pure consulting companies, but if your consulting company has at least one product or service, that appears to meet the criteria.

BizSpark适用于出售某些东西(产品或服务)的公司，而不是纯粹的咨询公司，但是如果您的咨询公司至少有一种产品或服务，则表明它符合标准。

I asked folks on Twitter to see if they were using it and if it was a good thing, and everyone said it was a good program. It's a messed up economic time, and I think BizSpark would be an easy way to get a small business or startup idea of the ground without thinking about software licensing for 3 years. If you've got an idea for a business, or you already have a business, this could be the program for you. Tell Bill I sent you (he's one of my many bosses, so be nice and don't get me sacked) and he'll help you get setup.

我问Twitter上的人们是否正在使用它，以及它是否是件好事，每个人都说这是一个好程序。 这是一个混乱的经济时间，我认为BizSpark将是获得小型企业或初创公司想法的简便方法，而无需考虑3年的软件许可。 如果您有生意的想法，或者您已经有生意，这可能是适合您的计划。 告诉比尔，我派了你(他是我许多老板中的一位，所以要好，不要让我被解雇)，他会帮助你进行设置的。

Are you in this program? Is it a good thing? Leave a comment.

你在这个程序中吗？ 这是好事吗？ 发表评论。

Update: The guy at MSFT who runs the program is Julien Codorniou and feel free to email him at julienco at microsoft.com with questions. Mention my name for free candy (not really).

更新：运行该程序的MSFT负责人是Julien Codorniou ，可以随时通过microsoft.com的julienco向他发送电子邮件，以提出问题。 提到我的名字叫免费糖果(不是真的)。
