Welcome to the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program portal.

The VSIP program offers 3 partnership levels:

• Affiliate (free) – register for this level if you just need a Package Load Key (PLK) for your Visual Studio Package
• Alliance and Premier (paid) – register for these levels for more comprehensive marketing and technical benefits, such as access to developer events, MSDN subscriptions, and co-marketing initiatives

To register for the VSIP program, please enter your company name (or your e-mail address if you are not affiliated with a company) and click the "Register" button.

The VSIP program can help you build, integrate, and sell applications, tools, components, and even entire programming languages with Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2005 Team System, and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. The VSIP program offers unique technical and marketing benefits to all its partners—developers, tools ISVs, and line of business and infrastructure ISVs. To become an Alliance or Premier partner, companies or individuals sign a three year VSIP agreement, agree to release a product internally or externally which integrates, or supports Visual Studio 2005 products, and pay an annual fee. To become a free Affiliate partner, with no marketing or technical benefits, companies or individuals simply enter their information and click "Register". To learn more, visit VSIP Program Benefits.

Microsoft staff can obtain Package Load Keys by signing in above. If you are a Microsoft employee and have not used this site before, please enter Microsoft PLK as the company name and click "Register" to request access.
