AT 78+ AND STILL MOTORING, NOW ON WIN 10, WITH VFP 5.0, SOMETIMES COMPILING ON WIN 2K OR XP, I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED, OR AT LEAST A LITTLE TIME WITH VFP 9.0 SP2, BEFORE I DIE. IS THERE ONE OUT THERE FOR SALE?
5.0 SEEMS TO GIVE WIN 10 REGISTRY A BAD TUMMY ACHE. OUR HARDWARE WORLD IS STILL RS232-DOMINATED FOR LOAD CELL CONTROLERS AND PLC'S, WHICH MEANS USB CONTROL REGISTRY TWEAKS THAT ARE IRKSOME, TO SAY THE LEAST. WINDOWS HAS NEVER BEEN GENEROUS WITH ITS COM PORT NUMBER ALLOCATION SCHEMES.
EXCUSE THE ALL CAPS, THEY HELP ME TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN.

William,
Hello William,
I'm glad you're still going at it.
You're probably only going to find that you can legally get it through an MSDN subscription of some type.

Personally, I'd give Ebay a shot for $19...

It looks a little flakey. You get a usb stick with the iso and 3-4 other files. A "genuine" product key code is included (whose :) ? ). doesn't sound very 'microsoft'. It was also on sale in England's ebay. I'll report back when I get it AND register it. Never was able to get 5.0 to work. Still using 2.6/DOS under DOS and Ubuntu/Dosemu.
