• Visual Studio Team System Licensing Question

  I had TFS Workgroup setup. We needed to upgrade to TFS Standard because of the increasing number of developers accessing TFS. We cannot purchase the license for another month or 2, so Microsoft said to install the 180 day Trial, which will remove the 5 Licensed Users cap. Well I uninstalled Workgroup, installed the Trial, and I still have the error come up when trying to add more than 5 licensed users.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ASP.Net & ManulScheduler Nightmares...

  Well the isues go on... The details: 1. When a delay activity is arrived at in a workflow and that instance is persisted. 2. When a new instance is created, the previous instance is loaded, but doesn't go any where, and when the delay is reached the item is persisted.
