One of my friends is making commercial program in vb6 , is there any license required to sell the application to end user. He is having vb6 developer license.
From the VB6 manual
You can freely distribute any application you create with Visual Basic to anyone who uses Microsoft Windows
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa716256(VS.60).aspx
If you have used third-party controls or other components, you must check whether you can distribute them. This link lists some Microsoft controls that you can redistribute.

There are no specific license requirements for VB6 applications that I know of. All that's important is that current operating systems ship with the VB6 runtimes, and for the moment that is true. The VB6 runtime comes pre-installed all the way up to Windows Server 2008 R2. There's a ton of useful information for your friend here:
Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7

I am an amateur Java programmer.I also know Python and HTML basics.I`m recently interested in the new windows 10.I just want you professionals to suggest me a language to start to become a windows developer.
Thanks
This question doesn't really conform to StackOverflow question format (since its opinion based), but I will answer it anyway.
From my personal experience windows developers mainly use .NET languages (ASP.NET, C#, Visual Basic) although Windows 10 has support for these to use the full potential of Windows 10 you would use C++.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is one of the only IDE's to take windows 10 to its full advantage.
Since MSVS 2015 has all the templates for Windows 10 apps, you can create desktop and mobile applications with it.
I think you should Learn .Net languages and framework.
Try C#...
it is very similar to Java and in your case you can learn it easier.
the whole windows is based on .net technologies and it's related languages.
Good luck.

We contracted a guy to build .net app. His team is in India, and am afraid they may not have licensed softwares their, which may eventually get us in troubles.
Is their anyway I can tell if the end product he deliver was developed with licensed Visual Studio ?
I'm not sure there actually is - especially because Visual Studio itself doesn't compile the code, if it's C# then its the CSC.exe (VBC.exe for Visual Basic) file that does the work and that itself comes with the .Net framework and is free.

We have Visual Studio 2010 premium edition on our systems and Can succesfully use Team Explorer build in it. But I want to use Team explorer separatly. How can I install it separatly without installing VS2010 on some user machines or can we separate vs2010 and team explorer if already installed. Also Do I still need to have separate licence for this per user. I know we have Team web access but need team explorer independently.
Please guide.
I have read the following posts but still not clear:
Standalone GUI client for TFS 2010 Source Control
Does the free Team Explorer client work without Visual Studio
If you have a TFS Client Access License (CAL) for these users, then you can use the standalone Team Explorer at no additional cost.
You should already have a CAL for those users if they're using TFS Web Access, so yes, they should be able to use the standalone Team Explorer.

I have been using VS2010 Pro from DreamSpark. I will shortly be joining a commercial organisation who will not be providing me with a VS license and as such I will need to purchase my own.
Is Visual Studio licensed per user, per machine, or per-user per-machine? I.e. if I buy one license am I able to exclusively use it on both my laptop and desktop?
Thanks
Visual Studio is licensed per user. You can have one installation on your laptop and another on your desktop as long as they are both used by you only (or any other user has a license). Here's Microsoft's whitepaper on licensing.

I am an adjunct professor teaching database and programming classes. I own a desktop and laptop both running Windows. I own an Academic copy of VS 2010 and have it installed/activated at home.
Starting in the Fall I will be teaching C# .NET programming with VS 2010. However, the laptop at the college with it installed is a 5 year old POS. Can I install VS 2010 and activate with the same license on my laptop as I do with my desktop? Or does this violate the license with Microsoft? I thought about buying another copy - but the Academic reseller I deal with said I am only allowed to buy one copy a year. Both are used for Academic purpose - my day job provides me with a laptop so I am not worried they would ever think I am doing non-academic work with these - but I really need to have VS on both.
Thanks,

As per this pdf (Page 1)
A single license for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently by multiple end users.
It looks to me that it can be installed on multiple machines as long as it is not used concurrently by multiple end users.
Also, reviewing this pdf (Page 9) I see
Visual Studio 2010 Client Edition-Only Licensing
Visual Studio 2010 products can be purchased without an MSDN subscription in certain channels. (See the How to Buy section of this paper for more details).The user can install and use the Visual Studio client software on as many devices as they like. However, the products are licensed on a per-user basis—that is, only the licensed user can use the software.
Yes you can, according to this thread on Visual Studio Developer Center/Visual Studio Forums. (And this comes from the Microsoft licensing specialists)
