The catch – and key difference between this and the Action Pack – is that you cannot use these licenses in production. The Action Pack software you can use in production with no problem. You are right on the Action Pack needing a test to be able to order it. However that test is amazingly easy so don’t let that discourage you on it. Frankly I think they did that just to prevent anyone from setting up a bogus partnership and just ordering the software. They are making you put a little skin – emphasis on little – in the game. You are also right in that technically you can’t use the Action Pack software once your subscription expires. Regardless, that 40% off is a great deal. Thanks for bringing it up.
