Hi, My question is simple and clear, wanna want to use directx, do I need to buy license or anything else to make a commercial game (VC++ express 2005 + DirectX October SDK). If yes, what is the price of this license? Any other infos about directx license are welcome. Thanks in advance

thanks alot,

As an OpenGL user, I used to think that to make commercial games with DirectX (direct3d, ...) I had to pay a license;

So now the only difference between Direct3D and OpenGL remain on the portability and other personnal choices.

thanks
