TFS2008: non serve più la CAL per inserire/visualizzare/aggiornare i PROPRI Work Item
Anche io lo sapevo da un po'... e dovevo tenere la bocca chiusa. Ma ora è ufficiale!!!
I’ve known about this for a little while, but it’snow confirmed in the public domainon the MSDN forums by Kevin Kelly, Product Manager, Team Foundation Server.
From the 2008 EULA for TFS:
You do not need a CAL to access work item tracking functionality to create new work items, or view and update work items you opened.
The principal restriction…if you do not have a CAL you may only access work items you have opened/created. You cannot execute a query that returns any work items created by others. You may open any type of work item the Team Project supports.
That means you can now put up a website, or integrate it into your error handling that allows your customers to submit bugs directly to TFS, without having to buy a CAL for them, or an External Connector License.
There’s now no-excuse for using something other than TFS to track bugs.
Confermo le parole di Grant: non ci sono più scuse per non usare TFS per tracciare bug, richieste, etc...
