We have Visual Studio 2010 premium edition on our systems and Can succesfully use Team Explorer build in it. But I want to use Team explorer separatly. How can I install it separatly without installing VS2010 on some user machines or can we separate vs2010 and team explorer if already installed. Also Do I still need to have separate licence for this per user. I know we have Team web access but need team explorer independently.

Please guide.

I have read the following posts but still not clear:

• Standalone GUI client for TFS 2010 Source Control
• Does the free Team Explorer client work without Visual Studio

Answer 1

If you have a TFS Client Access License (CAL) for these users, then you can use the standalone Team Explorer at no additional cost.

You should already have a CAL for those users if they're using TFS Web Access, so yes, they should be able to use the standalone Team Explorer.
