Does this mean that we have a server license or it needs to be purchased separately? No we would like to install the app tier (SQL) on a separate server? Are there any implications on the licensing front that we need to understand? My company has ordered quite a lot of Ultimate and Professional editions of Visual Studio 2010 licenses.

You cannot query, access or modify other users' work items without a CAL. E.g. a CAL-less user is allowed to file a bug, but not query the database to find out if anybody else has already filed the same bug. Which makes it all pretty useless for practical use. Microsoft must fix this. Either by including unlimited work item access in the server price (like many other bug tracking vendors do) or they should introduce a Work Item CAL at a decent price. (The current TFS CAL price is about 4-500$. For those only using work items, this makes it the most expensive defect tracker on the planet) Best regards, /Tomas “You do not need additional license when you are using TFS for only:
