Answer 1

Hi BabarVB,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Suite has suite of development tools that include Team Edition for Software Architects, Team Edition for Software Developers, Team Edition for Software Testers, and Microsoft Solutions Framework. And Visual Studio 2005 Team System is a platform for productive, integrated, and extensible software development life-cycle tools that helps software teams by improving communication and collaboration throughout the software development process. You can use Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite for development according to your actual requirement.

As for converting Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite to full commercial license, I would like to know if you are using the trial and want to convert it to full license. If so, I think you need enter a full product key to perform converting when it prompts you for the Product Key .

If I misunderstand, please let me know.

Thanks,

Amanda

Thanks for your advice.

The product installs and works correctly. Main problem is that I bought it from Amazon site. The seller did not mention that it is NFR product. After receiving the product I realized that it is an NFR product. I could have returned the product, but the seller would have sold it again and someone would have used it with or without the knowledge that it is an NFR product. Besides I live in Pakistan and want to use this product here.

The main question is that can I use this product which has an NFR license to develop and sell commercial products.
