I'm afraid there is nothing similar. Beta 1 is pretty old at this point. I think the only hope would be to get you to upgrade to Beta 2 (we don't support Beta 1 -> RTM upgrades). I don't think the Beta 2 download is available any longer but if you want to try this route, let me know (through the mail link on my blog) and I'll figure out how to get you the Beta 2 bits.

Is there by any chance a similar way to extending a TFS 2010 beta 1?

We did use this installation parallell to our 2008 version and now it has expired before we hade the time to migrate any of the code that was actually checked in there...

My dev team decided to test a VHD / TFS 2008 that was downloaded from MS site. It is now supposedly going to expire (dec 31, 2009), but your tool doesn't recognized the ver (I suspect cause SP1 was installed), and when I run the DVD I got from MS (we just bought volume licenses), I do not get the upgrade option, only reinstall and uninstall. I know this is the 11th hour, but our whole team is expecting and requires this up in the new year. Any suggestions? My only option immediately is a new svr 2003 (vmware), new sql 2005 svr, and then TFS 2008. We could then import DBs from one to the other.

The first 30 day extension is automatic. You just need to run the attached program and press extend. If you need another extension, I can help you. I will need some evidence that you are in the process of purchasing the product. Then I will need your current trial ID, as reported by TFSVersionDetection. You can just email the information to me.

It seems impossible to get the additional thirty day extension for some as when you attempt to contact representatives at Microsoft they respond with; "I do not know, I looked at your account and there does not seem to be anyone assigned."

And no one can help you to get a new trial id.

It's incredibly frustrating but at the same time it is nice that such an extension program exists.

My trial has just expired. I ran your cool tool and its says "Unable to access SQL Server Information" then a dialogue appears and says "Login failed for "<server_name>\<user_name>"

I am able to login to SQL so I am not sure what the problem is. Is it getting an old password from the environment somehow?

Hi Brian.

I was wondering what API command you are using to get the TFS Version. We have a need to know if a client is using at least TFS2008 and I haven't been able to find any help (yet). Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
