如果您这样做是为了延长试用期,那么上述工具将为您提供额外 30 天的试用期,如果您与当地的 Microsoft 代表良好交谈,那么您可能可以获得更长的延期。
顺便说一句 - Microsoft BizSpark 是 Microsoft 运行的一个出色的程序,它提供了所有的开发工具(包括 TFS)专为现金短缺的初创企业而设计。 如果您想了解有关该计划的更多信息,请联系您当地的 Microsoft 办事处。
祝你好运,

Assuming that your employer is wanting you to do this to extend your evaluation period and not to use software against the license terms then you might want to try the utility posted at the bottom of the following post instead:
TFS doesn't currently migrate well to another TFS instance, so if you were continually moving to a new TFS server every 90-days you wouldn't have a great experience. Also you be in breach of the EULA and therefore committing a form of software piracy under most legal systems.
If you are doing this to extend your trial then the tool above will give you an extra 30 days and if you talk nicely with your local Microsoft rep then you might be able to get a longer extension.
BTW - Microsoft BizSpark is an excellent program run by Microsoft which provides all their dev tools (including TFS) and is designed for cash strapped start-ups. Contact your local Microsoft office if you want to find out more about the program.
还有第四个选择:你可以参加所有 Microsoft 活动并希望他们向 TFS 提供免费许可证在其中一场活动中:)
Apart from this being illegal, I would think the hassle of switching to a new server every 90 days will out weigh the cost of just paying for the software.
So you have 3 choices
pay for the software and get legal
keep switching servers every 90 days
switch to a free open source system (subversion?)
There's a 4th choice: you can go to ALL Microsoft events and hope they give out free licenses to TFS at one of the events :)
You can do this, but I'm sure there's something in employment regulations (wherever you live) about being coerced to break the law, which is effectively what you'd be doing.

假设您的雇主希望您这样做是为了延长您的评估期,并且不要违反许可条款使用软件,那么您可能需要尝试以下帖子底部发布的实用程序:

TFS 目前无法很好地迁移到另一个 TFS 实例,因此如果您不断迁移到新的 TFS 实例, TFS 服务器每 90 天运行一次,您不会有很好的体验。 此外,您还违反了 EULA,因此在大多数法律制度下都犯下了某种形式的软件盗版行为。
如果您这样做是为了延长试用期,那么上述工具将为您提供额外 30 天的试用期,如果您与当地的 Microsoft 代表良好交谈,那么您可能可以获得更长的延期。

除了这是非法的之外,我认为每 90 天切换到新服务器的麻烦将超过仅仅支付软件费用的成本。

您使用的是 VS 团队版吗? 其中包括 TFS Workgroup,最多可容纳 5 个用户,无需进一步许可。
Are you using VS Team Edition? This includes TFS Workgroup which is good for up to 5 users without further licensing.
您可以这样做,但我确信就业法规(无论您居住在哪里)中都有关于被迫违法的内容,而这实际上就是您要做的事情。
