I built a software plug-in

[retail guy]

I am wondering. We built a software plug-in for RMS that provides some added
functioanlity. Do I need a license to sell it or to us Microsoft logos. Do
I have to become a partner, etc?

You don't need a license to sell it.

You will need to become a Microsoft Partner if you want to use Microsoft
Logos.

partner.microsoft.com will give you all of the information you need

We keep a list of the most popular RMS addins at
http://www.retailhero.com/rmsaddins.aspx . If you think your add-in can
provide good value for other retailers, please contact us and we will place a
link (the placement is free) to your Web site.

If you're a Certified Partner you can use the "Microsoft Certified Partner"
logo. If you're a Registered Partner, I don't think you're allowed to use a
logo, just the text "Microsoft Registered Partner". See
https://partner.microsoft.com/ and

If you want to use Microsoft logos for your products, such as on the retail
box or in the documentation and advertising for the product, then you must
pass the ISV product certification procedure. See
