If I make a website using Microsoft Visual Studio Express, do I have to take any license or something in any sense?
I'm deploying to a server which has Microsoft SQL Server Express.
You need a license for Windows Server, but that is all. There is nothing else needed beyond that for IIS, ASP.Net, MVC, or Sql Server Express Edition.
Or, put another way, Microsoft gives you a license for all of those things that you can use in a commercial production environment.

Hey I just recently started working for a company where I am the only developer for my team. I am developing software for use only by my team. I am unsure of what kind of license I would need for Visual Studio and SQL Server to begin development. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks Ahead
You can almost certainly use SQL Server Express and Visual Studio Express for free.

We would like to redistribute SQL Server Express with our application, and according to the following links:
MSDN forum,
SO discussion
it is necessary to register at Microsoft before. Unfortunately the link to the mentioned registration form is broken and I cannot find a registration form on the MS websites. Has anyone done the registration recently and can help me with a working link?
Starting with SQL Server 2012 the redistribution rights are built into the SQL Server Express license, and registration is no longer required to redistribute this version of SQL Server Express.

Can anyone tell me what is the limitations of this version like some features not to be supported or something.
I am going to create this type of Windows Azure VM for my application.
The full control of sql and Compatibility is my first consideration.
Thanks
The SQL Server 2012 running in Windows AzureVM is exact version which you have installed by your own and the only difference is that it is evaluation version so you can try it before make it final. Once you have tried it and know this is what you want, you can have your own SQL Server 2012 running on a VM you could create to fit your need.

My company purchased Visual Studio Pro 2008 last year, which had a 'free' copy of SQL Server Developer, which I have been using for development.
We are wanting to upgrade the copy of developer edition to enterprise (As we now want to use the server as a production server), and have purchased the licenses for this.
Now... Morally we're in the clear... However does this comply with MS licensing T&C's?
We have Developer installed how we want it, and don't really want to uninstall SQL Server Dev just to install SQL Server Ent. Is there a way to transfer the license key to our Enterprise key without having to reinstall?
Thanks,
JD
Upgrade from Developer to Enterprise is a supported upgrade path, so you can simply install the new bits on top of the existing ones (provided your Developer is still at RTM and haven't patched any SP or CU on it).
Whether the license you purchased covers the use of the developer edition for business purposes, it is not explicitly called out in the Licensing document and I can't answer that part.
Here is an msdn article that should help
