As a positive anecdote, the startup I worked for used the Bizspark programme and got acquired before the 3 years were up, so we never had to worry about licensing or server software costs (as the acquirer was a much larger company) Also, after the acquisition, it was probably one of the reasons why a full integration with the parent company other products wasn't considered (different tech stacks), so we integrated via APIs, which was the right decision (it would have taken too long otherwise, even on the same software stack) On the other hand, I never want to have anything to do with RDP ever again.
