Team Foundation Server - Toubles with TFS Key
When you are nearing the end of the TFS trial period, please not that:
- Volume licensing media contains an embedded key and therefore no key is required when installing from Volume licensing media. Also have a look at Rob's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2006/02/09/529033.aspx , which talks about finding the key in the setup.sdb.
- Volume licensing media cannot be installed on top of the Trial edition. In this case you need to either uninstall trial and reinstall using VL, or contact Microsoft Developer Support to obtain a unique key to unlock the trial.
When asking for a uniqeue key, refer MS support to their internal KB articles #909628 and #908114.
