I have one VS.NET Professional and one VS.NET Enterprise version in my
office. As I know, Visual SourceSafe is bundled in Ent Version. My problem
is can I enable the VSS functions in both VS.NET in my office as both VS.NET
are pointing to only one VSS DB.

Million Thanks

Grey,

Your best bet, is to read the EULA, and see what it states. If you have
Visual Sourcesafe Server, you may have multiple licenses. The piece that
comes with the Visual Studio .Net product is a client version, and I don't
believe that the Professional version comes with the Visual Sourcesafe
plugin.

However, if you have VSS Server, you should be able to run the netsetup to
install on the client pc.
