Whoa :)
Got to work this morning and found out that our TFS had expired! I
swear i checked to see when the expiry was due ... and i thought it was
upgrade when we purchased the keys/cals.
I know we have a key (and a huge bucket of CALS) so I wasn't
stressing ... until the IT dept couldn't find they key! Er -- WTF? On
some EOpen website they were showing me, it lists all the products and
the keys etc but for TFS there was nothing! (ie. this product doesn't
have a volume license key or something geeky like that ... i'm so glad i
don't need the degree required to handle licesning).
Now I was starting to worry (just a tiny bit) because i was thinking
it would take some time to ring the suppliers and get the key for the
server. In the mean time i'm already starting to think of plan B, C, D,
etc.. It's not good when you have 20+ developers starting to get
restless :(
So i tried one last thing before I started raising the issue from
embarassing to serious -> run the TFS install and see if the key is
'grey'd out' in the setup wizard before it starts doing the main main
main install. I've noticed this with other products i've recieved from
MSDN before.
Yep it was and yes it worked when i upgraded our TFS from (i'm
guessing) RTM 1.0 -> whatever the physical CD/DVD the IT guys purchased.
Close call and now 20+ happen developers once again.
Can't. Live. Without. Tfs. :)
