VS 2005 Pro with TFS client and source control

This is probably a FAQ but having read the licensing paper and http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/, I'm not 100% sure if I can use work item tracking and version control without a VSTS SKU (in the scenario where developers only version control).

    Yes, the Team Explorer / Source Control Explorer functionality is exactly the same. However, integration with VSTS-only features won't work, e.g. a checkin policy that required you to run VSTS unit tests.

  • Kataria Bipin

    Thx - so if I'm using VS Pro with TFS Client (CAL) - is version control enabled like in the VSTS SKU's

  • Dennis.Vroegop

    No, I think you need VSTS SKU for using Team foundation server on VS 2k5, or at least I read about that on newsgroups

  • rhernandez_64

    A TFS CAL allows you to access the server from any client: any version of VS, a 3rd-party app, a web interface, whatever.

    Only VSTS SKUs include a CAL in their price. So if you're using VS Pro, you'd have to purchase a CAL separately. (Unless you're using TFS Workgroup Edition, which does not require CALs.)
