The first thing to know are the products and editions: The purpose of this post is to provide you the pointers to the different options. I am not a lawyer, so validate all this information with a lawyer or legal department. As always happens with licensing, it is a somewhat complex subject with quite a lot of options, but the good news is that if you are an individual developer or a small team, you can use all the family of Visual Studio products for free. If you as individual or your team are starting to develop paid or open source extensions for the Visual Studio family of products, the first thing is to know which products you can use legally.Ī common question that you may have about using legally Visual Studio is which are your options. This is a cross-post from my other web site, Visual Studio Resources (no longer available).
