I am a novice freelancer providing .NET solutions. Currently I have a Student version of Visual Studio that I am working. But, If I want to deliver solutions to the clients, do I need to have buy the VS license?
For instance, I got a requirement from a client (does'nt have VS license) to build a web application in godaddy. In this case, does we both need to purchase license?
Is there any alternative like developing the application in web developer express edition and publish that using Nant tools?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
Use the Visual Studio Express edition. There are no limitations regarding commercial use.
From FAQ
Can I use Express Editions for
commercial use? Yes, there are no
licensing restrictions for
applications built using Visual Studio
Express Editions.
Microsoft just released a new version of Visual Studio - Visual Studio Community.
It is the equivalent of Visual Studio 2013 Professional but free for students, open source software projects, and small teams (less than 5).
I am not a lawyer and this is not a site to get legal questions answer. But in general, you cannot use student versions to deliver commercial products. Also, depending on the software each machine has to use it's own license of the software.
If you're talking about Visual Studio 2010 Express, then there's a thread here on the MSDN forums that states: "Provided that you comply with all the License Terms for a particular Express release, the 2010 Express SKUS can be used to create commercial software."

I have found the installer for the VS2017 version here, but is there one for the 2019 preview version?
SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSRS, SSDT, SSAS, MSAS):
Support for these project types is provided through two extensions in the Visual Studio Gallery: Microsoft Analysis Services Modeling Projects and Microsoft Reporting Services Projects. SSDT support is also included with the Data Storage and Processing workload in Visual Studio 2019.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS):
Support for Visual Studio 2019 is coming soon. Get latest news from the SQL Server Data Tools Team Blog.
*the info source is here.
April 15th, 2019 Release of SQL Server Integration Services Projects (Version 3.0 Preview):
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SSIS.SqlServerIntegrationServicesProjects&ssr=false#overview
Update: opened an existing dtproj successfully in Visual Studio 2019, and so far, Script Components have kept their code in-between saves
Note:
For users who are worried about downloading Visual Studio Community Edition for commercial use.
The EULA of VS 2019 community edition has a specific section that allows enterprise users to use it for the SSDT workload. See https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/mlt031819/.
Any number of your users may use the software only for Microsoft SQL
Server development when using the SQL Server Data Tools or the
extensions “Microsoft Analysis Services Projects”, “Microsoft
Reporting Services Projects”, or “SQL Server Integration Services
Projects” to develop Microsoft SQL Server database projects or
Analysis Services, Reporting Services, Power BI Report Server, or
Integration Services projects.
In the Visual Studio 2019 installer make sure you've selected the Data Storage and Processing payload. It will install the latest version of SSDT into your Visual Studio 2019 installation:
Afterward, it shows up here (for me):
it is showing on the same page for which you gave the link.. but it seems not yet released by ms itself..
best way is to raise a ticket with ms if you have support agreement ..

I want to know if i buy Visual studio 2017 professional then can i sell multiple projects to multiple clients made in same visual studio licence ?
or there is any limit like one client to one licence ?
logically there should not be any limit , still wanted to confirm !
As long as you are selling "standalone" programs that are pre-built and do not require Visual Studio libraries to be distributed with your program in order for your program to run, there is no limitation.
Where things get a bit tricky is if you do have to distribute DLLs supplied by Visual Studio that your program requires. Some of these may have different licensing/conditions/limitations for licensed redistribution. For VS 2017, the list of VS files you are licensed to redistribute with your program can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/productinfo/2017-redistribution-vs . Any libraries on that list with modified licensing conditions that diverge from "you may freely redistribute" (such as ASP.NET libraries) are also annotated there.
Finally, there may be 3rd-party licensed add-on libraries that integrate with Visual Studio that have their own licensing conditions, such as the legacy InstallShield Limited Edition or Visual Studio Installer "wizard" libraries that were provided/sold to automate the installation of your VS-built program.
The full Visual Studio 2017 Professional License Terms can be found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/license-terms/mlt687465/

How do I sync my Microsoft (DreamSpark) account to a Xamarin account? In order to use Enterprise features in Xamarin Studio? I was unable to use my outlook email to activate Xamarin Studio Enterprise edition, as well as I was able to activate Xamarin for Visual Studio Enterprise edition. Without Enterprise features I cannot use LLVM compiler on release mode :(
Thanks in advance :D
Microsoft give only Xamarin Studio Community Edition through DreamSpark for Students. Enterprise features are available through the Premium level of DreamSpark for Academic Institutions.
In case you have Enterprise features, according to Xamarin FAQ, you should do the next:
Go to the Visual Studio subscriber portal.
Sign in with your Microsoft account which is associated with your Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN subscription.
Scroll down to Xamarin Studio (for OS X) and click Register and download link.
Create a Xamarin account or sign in with your existing account and Subscribe. They will give you a discount on a full cost of Xamarin Enterprise license.
Use the Xamarin account from the step 4 to sign in the Xamarin studio.
With Dreamspark Premium you will get Enterprise features. Check your subscription to see which tier you are in.
To link the accounts, I believe you log into the "My Benefits" area of Dreamspark and look for Xamarin. I don't have access to Dreamspark to confirm the exact area, so I am assuming it's similar to MSDN. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

Can anybody tell me the site from which I can download Visual Studio 2008? Because Visual Studio 2010 is now able to be purchased I can't find Studio 2008.
You can download the Express (free) version of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 from here.(requires Visual Studio 2008 that a trial can be downloaded here!
Links updated
Microsoft doesn't seem to want you do use VS2008 anymore. Here are some currently valid links (for express), though.
web installers:
VB express 2008:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vbsetup.exe

I've recently switched from being an employee of a small consulting company to being an independent consultant and as time goes on I will need to upgrade Windows and Visual Studio. So what is the most affordable way to go about this for a small time developer?
My previous boss suggested I get a TechNet Plus subscription for OS licenses, I've done that and appears to be what I need, but open to other options for the future.
Visual Studio I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is the difference between Professional and Standard. Also I'd really like a digital version, but seems that expensive MSDN subscription is the only way?
Visual Studio 2008 Professional with MSDN Professional listed here appears to be semi-reasonably priced at $1,199. That would make the TechNet Plus subscription unneeded.
I recommend that if VS Express is not good enough, use Professional. Standard is missing some really useful features, like a Remote Debugger. Here is a detailed comparison:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx
I'd say cancel TechNet and get one of the bottom two MSDN Subscriptions, Visual Studio Professional with either MSDN Professional or with MSDN Premium.
You have the Microsoft Empower for ISV program, see https://partner.microsoft.com/40011351
Gives you a full msdn pro subscription for two years.
For non developer tools try Microsoft Action Pack
https://partner.microsoft.com/40016455
Then use Visual Studio Professional (in some exibitions you will get this for free)
For the versioning use svn and not TeamSystem
I realise that this doesn't apply to the asker but it it is relevent to the question.
Any student developers out there try Microsfts Dream Spark scheme. Visual Studio, Expression Studio, XNA and Server 2003 for free!
Office is also available to students for less than 60 bucks in Microsfts `Ultimate Steal'
I think that Visual Studio Professional with MSDN Subscription doesn't offer much value compared to just purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Pro. You get testing licenses for Windows Server and MSSQL, but that's it. And you can get by just fine without those 90% of the time.
But Visual Studio Premium with MSDN is a different story. You get access to most other server products (testing license only of course), and an Office Professional license. That's a much better value for a one-man shop in my opinion, if you can afford it.
