Azure DevOps Server (formerly Visual Studio Team Foundation Server) is a project management and version control application for software development teams. It's typically deployed in organisations with several developers who need to collaborate on one or more projects.

This offer provides one server license for running one instance of the server software in one physical or virtual operating system environment on a single server. Each user or device that connects to the server must have an Azure DevOps Server user or device client access license (CAL). See TechSoup's Guide to Microsoft Server Licensing for more information.
