VSS Setup on remote server

[LeisureTime]

I need to set up VSS on a remote server so several programmers (spread over the US) can work on a project without stepping on each other. Questions:

1. Is there a place I can download and install VSS 2005 to the server or do I have to upload it from my CD's? (I could then put in my own software key.)

2. If I have to upload, I have the VS 2005 Pro UPGRADE version. Can I upload from that or do I have to upload version 6 and then upgrade that from the disks or the internet or ???

Thanks for any advice...

Hi there,

You can't just download it - it's not free and no trial version is available. Have a look at the following VS 2005 product comparison chart - Visual Source Safe (VSS) is only available with the Team System version of VS:

Also a similar thread that discusses this issue for more information:
