They've dropped Advanced Server from the W2K Hotkit as of 17/2/00
(release date of Win2K I think), according to the site. They do
specifically mention that people who bought earlier Hotkits get all
three.
I believe NFR is "Not For Resale", not "Not For Release" (at least
as of 17/2/00). I used to get Corel software that way through
their Partners program. I guess it doesn't actually stop one from
selling it, but as you say there's no support, no upgrade, and if
caught theoretically no more Hotkits.
