   By "OK" I mean....when this particular product was on the market, it

   for deveopment to make a profit from selling software compiled on it.   
   And when I was a student, this is exactly what I used it for.   
      
   Now that Visual Basic 6.0 is old, discontinued, and abandoned by   
   Microsoft, I was just wondering if its now ok to sell software   
   compiled on an academic version such as the one I still own.   
      
   Will Microsoft come after me with lawsuits now, if I try to put a few   
   of the programs I've written on the market?   
      
   If I must upgrade, how can I do so if this product is now abandoned by   
   Microsoft?  I like Visual Basic a lot, and I prefer it over any other   
   programmng language.  I don't like Dot.Net and I don't ever want to   
   use it.
