Software Entitlement for Visual Studio

[Brgillen]

Hello,

I am creating entitlements for Visual Studios.  Visual Studio has rights to access Azure DevOps.  Visual Studio comes with a Azure DevOps Server license and Azure DevOps User CAL licenses.  How would I document this?  Would it be a Suite Component or would I create a separate entitlement?

Thank you for the help.

Hi @Brgillen,

the products "Azure DevOps Server" is already part of the Visual Studio Suite and will end up in a VS license consumption as soon the installation is detected. Suite components per definition are other detectable software installations which will cause a VS license consumption if found on a device assigned to VS subscription user.

If all VS subscription users are allowed to user "Azure DevOps" as a user, I would add a comment to each of the entitlements. If not all users are allowed to use it, of course you could track the allocations with the help of a separate entitlement and software model, but they will have no impact on the VS license balance.
