Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I do see other licensing questions here, not to mentiona "licensing" tag.
Our team consists of 10 people. Only 2 are developers. The other 8 are technical, but do not need to write code. We want everyone to track tasks in the same place. The task management integration in TFS is very handy. If we only have say 5 CAL's for TFS, can all 10 of us log into TFS web?
It seems that you are looking for the stakeholder license. It's already available for Visual Studio Online and will be also included in the Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 4 (which hasn't been released yet). This license is free and it allows stakeholders to organize backlog, create and modify workitems, create and modify queries.

I am investigating source control systems and considering migrating from SVN to either GIT or PlasticSCM. However to consider the costs, I'd like to know how much PlasticSCM will cost for us.
On their website they mention the community edition is free for up to 15 persons per team. However the definition of team is unclear for me: Is it usual in PlasticSCM to create a new repository per project? Or is the 15-person limit valid for all projects that use the same server?
Or in short: Can the community edition be used for two different repositories with 10 people using each?
The license model of PlasticSCM is per-user and per-server.
When a user performs a writable operation in the PlasticSCM server, a license (site) is used. The community edition can be used up to 15 users.
You can have all repositories you want, but you must manage less that 15 users, for each server.

I currently have an Microsoft Action Pack but I don't see a license for TFS included in it. What would be the best way of getting TFS 2012 Server installed and access for 6 devs and 2 Web access users.
I've read the Microsoft Licensing White Papers and they are next to useless. Does anyone have any concrete examples of the best way to get this done? Do I just purchase a Server License and 6/8 CALS, it seems I should be able to reuse some part of the Action Pack to reduce this cost, no?
Thanks in advance.

How many developers can work together with MonoTouch Enterprise Licensing?
It's one seat per license, but they do have volume licensing aswell.
http://support.xamarin.com/customer/portal/topics/80275-store-faq/articles
Only one developer can use the enterprise license at one time.
This license is assigned to your company though, instead of a specific developer, so if you hire somebody else, or the current developer leaves the team, another one can work on the project without having to purchase a new license.

I seem to recall hearing at some point (I believe it was MIX09) that Microsoft has a licensing model of some sort where a business can consume licenses for up to two years, free of charge, until they reach a point where they are stable position and can pay their licensing at the end of two years. However, I can't find information regarding it online.
I want to say that possibly stackoverflow used this licensing model to kick start their site. Is anyone familiar with this?
In addition to BizSpark (as per #paul) there are also WebSpark and, as of May 2010, the developer MAPS programmes.
Webspark information is here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/default.aspx
Details of the Action Pack (MAPS) are currently here: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40132997
I'm fairly certain that in all cases availablility varies by your location - but if you're producing stuff for/with/on Microsoft tools/platforms then they're all worth a look.
You're thinking of BizSpark:

There is also the Empower program if you're an existing business, not a startup.

I am confused about the licensing model for Microsoft PerformancePoint Server.
When I look at
http://www.microsoft.com/business/performancepoint/howtobuy/default.aspx
I see a 20,000 USD Server License, plus a 200 USD CAL license. But the language is a bit vague about what this means-- is CAl required for any user looking at reports, or for report updaters/creators?
Thanks much,

It's included with the Enterprise License of MOSS 2007 now.
I'm not a lawyer or anything, but this license term looks like something that Microsoft can't actually enforce. Sometimes they put terms in licenses that are legally baseless(i.e. they couldn't sue you and win) and just assume you'll follow the license because you're afraid.
