• Visual Studio Team System Confused about licensing

  I am finding the licensing scenario's for VSTS a little confusing. Here is the scenario I am trying to figure out: I have 15 .NET developers with MSDN Universal subscriptions and plan on adding 10 more over the next year.

• Visual Studio Team System Error 28704.Unable to connect to the Analysis server.

  I just can't figure this one out - two tier installation where I have followed the setup manual to the letter (i think). Analysis service is in fact running, I can even connect to it from a mgmt studio installed on the application tier.
