I've read Visual Studio and MSDN Licensing White Paper.
But unfortunately it isn't clear for me, I would like confirm with you that it's not illegal.
My enterprise already has a Premium MSDN subscription.
This subscription gives a licence of TFS that includes a CAL and an SQL Server licence for TFS.
If I understand the whitepaper correctly:
Each developer who has Visual Studio 2013 Premium doesn't need a license CAL and has full features with TFS. They can access to the web interface, too.
Each developer who has Eclipse doesn't need a licence CAL since TFS Everywhere is free (with the addon for Eclipse). The developers don't have full features but they can create/update/delete all issues. They can access to the web interface in order to change the issues.
Each analyst of our team needs a license CAL in order to use the web interface and create/update/delete issues in project, don't they?
The manager of the team needs to have a license CAL, don't they?
If each analyst and manager need a license CAL, they could install Visual Studio from the MSDN subscription in order to avoid a paid license or isn't it correct?
Everybody who accesses TFS requires a CAL. If a developer has VS 2013 Premium + MSDN, then he gets the CAL via that. If a developer is an Eclipse developer (and doesn't have Visual Studio) then you need to purchase a CAL for them separately (Team Explorer Everywhere is free, but does not include a TFS CAL).

I am using IBM.Data.DB.Provider Nuget package but I receive licensing error. as per License Details I simply have to copy a license file in the license folder of this Nuget Package. I wanted to know if I can acquire a Trail license for it to present my 'Proof of Concept' to our team. Once approved, our management will acquire a license from IBM.
Furthermore, I wanted to clarify that this Nuget Package (after fixing license issues) will not require any installation at all on our web farm because that's not permitted by our infrastructure team.
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. A DB2 trial licence can be obtained for 90 days from IBM's website. I found the customer support very helpful. You can contact support using the yellow "Lets Talk" button in the bottom right.
This post here says that you need to use TFS Integration Platform, which in the past has not been brilliant for me. I'll give it another shot.
Can this be done with OpsHub Migration tool (perhaps the commercial version?)?
If not, perhaps a good feature to add for a future version.
yes, there are several tools available including the TFS Integration Platform, TaskTop, and the OpsHub Integration Platform that will support the ability to setup migrations & synchronizations between Visual Studio Online accounts.

I am using TeamCity to build and prepare a Windows Forms application. I've got a few projects in the solution, one of these being the .isproj which is an Installshield Project. I'm using the free developer version that Installshield so nicely provide for us.
However, TeamCity obviously can't build this, because the box doesn't have Installshield installed.
I can't install the same version because it requires Visual Studio, which is a bit of a pain.
Does anyone know if there is a free version that we could use on our Build Server to generate the artefacts for release?
I am not sure if InstallShield LE is available in the VS Express edition, which you could install on your build machine.
Another alternative would be to use another tool, for example Advanced Installer also has integration with VS and full command line support, so you can integrate it in your build machine. Also, you can install it separately on the build machine, without any edition of VS. It has the "Simple" project in the free edition, any other project types require a commercial license.

Is there a TFS plugin for use with sharp develop? From what i can see on google, there were a couple of summer of code projects in this general direction but i cant seem to find a definitive answer.
Alternatively if there is no plugin, what are my options for TFS clients?
Without support built-in to the SharpDevelop IDE, the easiest option would be to use the TFS Windows Shell Extensions to interact with TFS from Windows Explorer. See towards the bottom of this post for more information - although it mentions TFS 2008, the feature is much the same in 2010.
To start using these, you will need to do the following:
Install Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 (to get the TFS object
model on your machine), (Note, you can also get the object model w/o VS by googling 'TFS Object Model Free', currently at this link: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a37e19fb-3052-4fc9-bef7-4a4682069a75 )
Install the Team Foundation Server Power Tools
Browse to a folder on your machine that is mapped in a a TFS workspace (establish one first if you need to)
You should then be able to right-click the files and choose Team Foundation Server > Check-In (or similar)

Need recommendations for this...
I have 2 teams
Enterprise SOA development with InfoPath 2003, BizTalk 2006, MSCRMv3, custom .net2 website and a bunch of webservices using VSStudio 2005 with TFS.
Web Team focused on public facing websites - using Adobe Suite, VSStudio 2005.
As mentioned team 1 have TFS- we dont do daily/weekly/fornight/intergration builds as we dont do that type of methodology - but we do have a custom build/test solution using msbuild plumbed into TFS. (it does other funky things like zips for archive the version/delist biztalk, deploy new assemplies in biztalk and renelist of biztalk and a full deploy of the website and services)
Team 2 have nothing... other than a zip archive of versions.
Issues...
TFS is expensive
Both teams are used to the "locking school" of source control.
need source control for differing assests
Any suggestions - OSS or other wise?
svn - can even keep your locking strategy (if you have to), also you can develop all sorts of pre/post commit hooks to automate deployments/tests etc etc. Easy to setup and manage.
Some tools & links
visualsvn server - free
tortoise svn - explorer add-in - free
visual svn - visual studio addin ($49 per seat)
I would go with TFS for both teams despite the expense. You have the expertise in-house already for that product and it supports the locking model you like.
If cost is a problem, go with SVN for the web team, but purchase VisualSVN for Visual Studio integration and use TortoiseSVN for Explorer integration. I have found in the past that web teams tend to 'get' SVN a bit more quickly, especially with TortoiseSVN.
I work with Subversion, running VisualSVN Server, and TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN add-in for Visual Studio on client developer machines, its a really good setup, and all is OpenSource.
