I have a question about TFS & SQL Licensing, hope anybody can help...
I want to deploy TFS 2010 in a two-tiers configuration. One tier for TFS and other for SQL Server 2008.
But I don't want to use the SQL Server that comes with TFS. I want to use the a corporate SQL Server that is currently running... This SQL Server is licensed per User.
My question is... Does TFS CALs give SQL Server CALs when not using the SQL Server that comes with TFS? Do I need additional SQL Srver CAL for every TFS CAL in this scenario?
Fernando, I asked the licensing folks, and here's what they said.
"No SQL Server CALs are required when using SQL Server Standard in support of TFS. When you run any version other than SQL Server Standard, you need to license SQL Server separately—either by buying the proc license or both the server license and CALs for each connection."
I hope this helps.
