Talk:Visual Studio Online

How do the terms of the online service differ from those of permanent installed Visual Studio applications? Does one's right to use the Online version cease after one year or some other time limit? The previous versions of VS used to allow use in perpetuity after downloading the installer. It seems suspicious and shocking that neither Microsoft's web pages nor this wiki page even mention this important issue. C4dn (talk) 20:25, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

VS Online is an extension of TFS. It does not replace on premise installations. However, it is marketed as the tool for Azure related development. Subscription plans are available in Basic, Professional and Advanced but not sure it has to be bought as a part of Azure. Here is a link to the pricing plan http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/visual-studio-online/. This article should be combined with the Visual Studio article as Visual Studio Online can be added to Editions section. --Ramya20 (talk) 19:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
