Hi

We are developing an application in which we are planning to use

MSAccess as a database. I have MSAccess 2000 installed on my development

machines. Its product ID is 50083-053-4473424-02634.

I have several queries that I would like to ask you regarding licensing of

.mdb files.

1) Once the application is developed and ready to use, We would sell it to

our client. We will provide .mdb files to our client which contains the

database of the application. i.e our installer would install/copy the .mdb

files in the client's machine where the software is being installed. That

Machine(Target Machine or client's machine) may have or may not have

MSAccess installed in it.

Do we need to buy/have a license to distribute .mdb file or Can we

simply distribute .mdb files with our software/application ?

If we will need to buy a license for this, Whats the procedure for that

and How much would that cost ?

Once we buy the license, Can we freely distribute it in as many machine

as we want ? or does it have any restriction ?

2) Our installer would also install a Microsoft access driver onto the

client's machine to access the database. Can we distribute the Microsoft

driver for free with our application or Do we need to buy a license for

distributing the driver ?

If we will need to buy a license for this, Whats the procedure for that

and How much would that cost ?

Once we buy the license, Can we freely distribute it in as many machine

as we want or does it have any restriction ?

Thanks in advance
