    <p>The <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&amp;FamilyID=2b1504e6-0bf1-46da-be0e-85cc792c6b9d">Visual Studio 2010 and MSDN Licensing Whitepaper</a> is very useful for helping you to understand the terms in the EULA.</p> <p>Since 'tf.exe' is installed as part of 'Visual Studio Team Explorer', the following sections apply for installing the software:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010</strong>, which is included with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Visual Studio 2010 Premium, Visual Studio 2010 Professional, and Visual Studio Test Professional 2010, and available for download to the general public. Team Explorer also <strong>can be installed as a standalone client, and on as many physical devices as you like</strong>.</p> </blockquote> <p>Basically, installing the software is not a problem - since anybody can <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=fe4f9904-0480-4c9d-a264-02fedd78ab38&amp;displaylang=en">download the Team Explorer 2010 installer from the Microsoft Download Center</a>.</p> <p>The thing that you need to understand is this:</p> <blockquote> <p>No matter which method you use to access Team Foundation Server, <strong>you must always have a license for the client.</strong></p> <p>A Client Access License (CAL), which enables a single user (in the case of the User CAL) or device (for a Device CAL) within an organization to access all instances of Team Foundation Server running within that same organization.</p> <p>Only Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN, Visual Studio 2010 Premium with MSDN, Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN, and Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 with MSDN subscriptions include a Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 User CAL. <strong>CALs must be acquired separately for all others using Team Foundation Server</strong>, including those with a Visual Studio 2010 individual development tool without MSDN.</p> </blockquote> <p>In summary, if those users have a VS Ultimate/Premium/Pro/Test <strong>with MSDN subscription</strong>, they already have a CAL for TFS. If they don't, then you need to buy additional CALs for them.</p>
