Great! Thank you so much for looking into this.

Oh, and one last thought. I really don't think that you guys will loose any significant revenue by including Team System in MSDN/AA. At least the areas I am familiar with would never, ever buy Team System at any of the other prices quoted. For them/us/me it is really just a choice between having it in MSDN/AA or using something entirely different, like SVN and accompaning tools. I would much prefer the first option! Very different market from the corporate world, where you guys seem to have a low price compared to the competition.

At the same time including it in MSDN/AA seems a great opportunity to make many more students/researchers familiar with the MS platform.

Cheers,
David

David A. Have there been any updates on the situation? zian Hello Everyone, My name is Bruce and I would like to give you the real story on what we are going with VSTS and TFS in MSDN AA.  IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ALL TEXT BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING AN EMAIL:  TFS 1)      The 180 day Trial version of TFS is available to MSDN AA Administrators on the MSDN AA subscriber download site and should be regarded as nothing more than an FPP version of TFS that happens to function prior to the addition of a key.  Additonally, all students are welcome to download the trial of TFS from the public site regardless of their affilaition with MSDN AA.  2)      We have distributed a TFS key for each MSDN AA member on the MSDN AA subscriber download site.  Each key can be used by all eligible students in the MSDN AA department.  Students and faculty can use TFS in trial format and upgrade to the permanent version by entering a key the key whenever they wish.  The keys required for this upgrade process can only be accessed by MSDN AA Administrators and distributed to eligible students within the MSDN AA Department.   3)      Existing Trial versions of TFS can be turned into permanent versions with the following process: 1) go to the control panel 2) double click ??dd/Remove Programs??3) double click TFS 4) Enter Key when prompted via the wizard.   4)      Please bear in mind that we have had quite a bit of success using this process, in other words - It works.  VSTS 1)      VSTS is different.  The ??rial to Permanent??upgrade process WILL NOT WORK FOR VSTS.      2)      The commercial bits and license keys are available to MSDN AA Administrators on the MSDN AA subscriber download site.   VSTS Keys and bits can be accessed by MSDN AA Administrators and distributed to eligible students within the MSDN AA Department.  Students within an MSDN AA department will still have access to non-expiring licenses of VSTS.     MSDN AA/Software Access Guy Bruce Curling
