Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Device CAL with Software Assurance
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must buy at least 5 CALS. New orders must also purchase
a server license.
Client Access Licenses (CALs) are required for each device or user that accesses
the features and services of Visual Studio. Device CALs are likely to be more
cost-effective than User CALs if there are multiple users per device (for
example, a call center or an airport kiosk).
Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server empowers development teams to do great
work by integrating the most critical aspects of software development — version
control, work item tracking, and reporting — together into a single, secure
collaboration platform. Projects managed by Team Foundation Server benefit from
integrated guidance — both custom defined and industry-recognized best-practices
to ensure predictable, successful results.
The development environment today has become more and more complex through
increased specialization, outsourcing and off-shoring, pressure to meet
compliance initiatives, and ever shorter development cycles. Manage changes,
bring teams together and continuously improve with Visual Studio 2008 Team
Foundation Server.
Microsoft Open Licensing allows the ability to purchase under the same
authorization number for two years. Open Business offers volume pricing with
only a five minimum license requirement.
