Daily Usage of VE

Hi, I thought that the daily transaction allowance for VE has been increased to 100K per day from 5K per day.

Thanks

Mo

my company has recently entered into a commercial agreement with MSN Europe regarding VE and MapPoint usage on our upcoming website.

I suggest contacting your local MSN Business Unit rep for more info.

Derek, I am pretty much sure it is 100K

Please see below

All sounds a bit fishy to me.

For Virtual Earth there is the 100k transactions per day limit, above that you have to pay.

Ask your MS partner how they expect you to monitor accurately the number of Virtual Earth transactions If they send you a bill for the transactions that you are not aware of; ask them to provide proof of the transactions, and how did they arrive at such a figure

I would be very interested to know!
