Can I subscribe to both the Action Pack and Empower for ISVs program?
As of November 30, 2007, if you’re enrolled in the Microsoft Empower for ISVs program (which is intended for software developers creating their first Microsoft platform-based solution), you cannot also subscribe to the Action Pack (which is intended for IT professionals and includes internal-use licenses for many of the latest Microsoft software offerings). If you would prefer to subscribe to the Action Pack, you must first cancel your Empower program subscription (without refund). Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours for system changes to take effect.
