TFS & Visual Studio ALM – by Neno Loje

Which Visual Studio Edition do I need to use TFS?

March 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

If you want Team Explorer to integrate with your existing Visual Studio IDE you need at least the Standard Edition of Visual Studio (according to the comparison sheet that Microsoft published).

 

Note on VSTS licensing:

Keep in mind that only the Team Editions (as well as Team Suite) comes with a client access license (CAL). You will need to buy a CAL for each user that accesses TFS using VS Std. or VS Pro.

 

Note for VS Express users:

You can use TFS and VS Express Edition, but Team Explorer will not integrate with the IDE but rather live in a separate Mini-Visual Studio (which will call itself ‘Standard Edition’).
