I recently cancelled my VS subscription, just couldn't see any reason not to just use the community edition.
- smackeyacky 5y agoAccess to licences for things like windows server and sql server. I run an old hp ML350 as a dev workstation, has windows server and sql server on it for some side hustle consulting work. You can't use the licenses for production systems but they sure are handy for spinning up replicas of on premises customer setups.
- mattmanser 5y agoSQL server dev is free now and runs on linux.
- smackeyacky 5y agoYes that's true but a few of the people I deal with are using SSIS or report server and those don't run on Linux. For those customers, being able to do some testing on a replica of their setup is very handy, so that's what I pay the visual studio license for.
