License problem of VSS

[Grey]

I have one VS.NET Professional and one VS.NET Enterprise version in my
office. As I know, Visual SourceSafe is bundled in Ent Version. My problem
is can I enable the VSS functions in both VS.NET in my office as both VS.NET
are pointing to only one VSS DB.

Million Thanks

You get the database "free" but only licensed clients are legally allowed
to use it.


"How do I license Visual SourceSafe for my team?

"Each member of the team needs their own licensed copy of Visual SourceSafe.
Team members can install their copy on either their client workstation or
access their own copy from a server machine, as long as each end-user has
their own individual licensed copy of Visual SourceSafe. If a team member
uses multiple machines (for example, a team member that might work on a
different machine from home) they may install their single licensed copy of
Visual SourceSafe on more than one machine, provided that they are the only
end-user for the particular copy of Visual SourceSafe.

There is no "server license" for Visual SourceSafe. Each team member only
needs a licensed copy of the Visual SourceSafe client application. These
applications access a shared database."
