Ok, so i am buying this software. BUT, i'm confused because i don't know why is there a/an:
1. MSDN bundled with the software?
2. Renewal on the software?
And do you need a:
3. MSDN subscription to use the software itself?

1)only if you bought with MSDN.
2)renewal is for if you have VS 2010,2012, etc
3)no. MSDN is extra.

There is also the Visual Studio Community 2013.
Free, direct from MS.

You might want to try this first and see if it meets your needs.
