Why would the new Code Lens option not be available in Visual Studio 2013 Professional? How can I add it (back?) into VS2013?
Example on how it should look:
Example on how my Options looks:
Code Lens is not included in the VS 2013 Pro SKU. You need to have the Ultimate SKU to get this feature. Others have already asked for this...
Hey, Microsoft: Make CodeLens Available in Visual Studio 2013 Professional
So technically the answer to "how" is pay Microsoft a lot of money and upgrade to Ultimate. This isn't the answer you are looking for but for now it is the answer.
Microsoft released the product comparison details for the different versions of Visual Studio 2015 and Code Lens has been added to the Professional SKU.
VS 2015 Compare Editions
A request was made on the Visual Studio UserVoice site to add CodeLens to other SKU's than Ultimate and MS had originally declined it.
Make CodeLens available outside Ultimate
As you can read by the comments, in the UserVoice request many people are very unhappy by Microsoft's decision. It looks like this original decision has been reversed. I would assume they will updated the UserVoice very soon.

I'm trying to request a code review from another developer on a project hosted in Visual Studio Online using git.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, which according to this Microsoft comparison page, supports code review (Under the "Collaboration Tools" heading).
Is this an option I need to turn on? I've looked in the Team Explorer panel, under the Project section and all I see is "Changes", "Branches", "Sync" and "Settings". From the videos I've watched, I expected to see "My Work" in that section too.
I had this problem also. Apparently My Work is only available in certain versions of Visual Studio:
My Work appears only when you have installed Visual Studio Premium or Visual Studio Ultimate.
Also, it won't show up for Git. Only for Team Foundation VC.
MSDN: Work in Team Explorer
Edit: I missed the link in the question, but looks like MS documentation might not be correct (surprise, surprise!) on one or the other. From that link it looks like there is not even a Premium or Ultimate version of 2015 offered. Very confusing. I'm guessing the page I referenced is not correct, even though it says it's for 2015. So I'd assume it's only available in Enterprise version, since in my own case, it did not show up in the Professional version.
Got an error thats says i have an VS 13 premium

Reinstalling the VS13 using installer don't solve problem.
HOWTO?!
VS 2013 Pro and VS 2013 Community Edition are essentially the same product. With the only difference being licensing terms, there are undoubtedly conflicts between components.
Q: Isn’t Visual Studio Community really just Visual Studio
Professional?
A: While the two editions share the same features
today, the licensing terms determine who can use this product. We
continue to invest in our paid offerings including MSDN subscription
benefits and services, which many Visual Studio Professional users can
take advantage of today.

I'm not quite sure how the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate licensing works.
How many developers can use Visual Studio in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate?
Is it a single user product? or for as many developers as required?
See buying here :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/subscriptions/buy.aspx
Per developer (usually named). There is also volume licensing if you have a lot of dev heads
When you buy the Ultimate license, if you don't have some sort of corporate subscription, the price you see on the site is a per-developer cost.
Ultimate is expensive. My advice would be to look over what it gives you versus what your team needs and decide from there. Depending on the work you're doing, Professional may be enough (I don't typically advise going lower).
This is a single user product. There's a separate page for volume licensing: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.aspx
Here is a whitepaper that describes more about the licensing process of Visual Studio, published in September of 2010:

This white paper provides an overview of the Visual Studio 2010 product line, including MSDN subscriptions, and the licensing requirements for those products in common deployment scenarios.

I'm looking to upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 Pro to Visual Studio 2010 Pro without MSDN. On the MSDN US site there's pricing for Upgrade from Standard for $299.
On the UK MSDN site however, the only options are to buy with MSDN for £484.99. Obviously a big difference in price there!
I can't find any info as to what qualifies for the Upgrade from Standard - anyone know about this? Or whether it's available in the UK?
thanks

Not really a programming question... (but somehow it is.. it's VS after all :P)
But: Have you considered calling the microsoft support or sending them an email? I bet they can give you the sophisticated info on that matter.
The Upgrade from Standard is for
*Special upgrade for Visual Studio 2005/2008 Standard Edition customers. Does not include MSDN.
If you want more info go to
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/buy
and just above the BUY NOW button on the left there will be a link to Chat with a Representative. They should be able to tell you if you can upgrade from 2008 Pro to 2010 Pro.
I'm also not a MSDN member. As the owner of Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, I was able to purchase a Visual Studio 2010 Professional license for $299.
I'm assuming your confusion is coming from the fact that you own VS 2008 Pro and not VS 2008 Standard. I would think that you could take advantage of the same $299 offer, but as someone else said, I'd check with Microsoft sales first.
I believe the upgrade is from VS 2010 Standard to VS 2010 Pro - not from earlier editions.
Question
Where can I find a list of changes introduced to Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RTM that were added since Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC?
In fact, I'm only interested in changes related to MS Test Manager 2010 and Coded UI Tests.
Where I have looked so far
I have
searched the Internet,
looked for a readme.txt in the installation folder,
looked into the Visual Studio help (F1) and
browsed the "What's new in Visual Studio 2010" section on MSDN.
No luck.
Found Scott Guthrie's blog post Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 Released, but that's not exactly what I am looking for. It's not a changelog since VS2010RC.
I suppose there is no such file because they made too many changes to document and hand out to end users. But if there was, I'd be glad if someone could point me to it. Thanks.
I suppose actually there are no interesting changes except improving performance and fixing some bugs that are major enough to accept risk of changes. I think so because they actively refuse any change requests in Microsoft Connect and in blogs saying that product is already designed, developed and tested and now they are working only on performance.
