MSDN Premium user can use VS Ultimate for development

Question

Hi Guys,

I am a SharePoint Developer and have MSDN Premium subscription. Visual Studio Premium has one limitation that I can't test my code until I don't use Visual Studio Ultimate.

Is it possible that I can use Ultimate version for my development ?

Hope you understand my query.

Hello Nazish,

I am not aware of this, you might want to wait to hear directly from Microsoft staff.

Thanks for Shiv_p’s help.

Hi Nazish,

I’m afraid that it has the limitation for the Ultimate version.

Like Dong’s suggestion, maybe you could call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M(Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist and get better support for this issue.
