No more TeamSite local development licenses?

Hi,

Having recently been through some very inefficient concurrent development on a single TeamSite server (acting simultaneously as dev and test and uat) we were able to get approval to go ahead and purchase local development licenses for TeamSite. All good, except now I've been told they are no longer available.

My questions are:

1 - Does anyone know why local development licenses (allowing a full install of TeamSite on a workstation for development and playing around) would no longer be available? They seem like a v. good idea (essential?) if you have more than a few developers working at the same time.

2 - Is there a development model that works well for people that doesn't require local development? We've been in situations where we've had 6 developers working on 4 different projects on one development TeamSite server, and with end-user acceptance testing going on too. It becomes very difficult not to step on each other's toes.

Any input on this would be great. My experience of development (not just TeamSite) has almost always involved a local dev environment in which to work, and try stuff out without worrying about breaking things.

Rich.

Bummer,

As a TS consultant I use my local install fairly often.

That being said, there are other options, but they are more difficult. Actually will be talking about best practices at GearUP on this subject.

Hi Richard,

Have you talked to your Account Executive at Interwoven about the Developer License - there should be alternatives that they can discuss with you. Please let me know if you need help finding out who to contact, or if you would like more information.

Thanks,

Hi,

Heather: Thanks for the response. We've been talking to our Account Exec, and it seems the issue is going to resolve itself.

Andy: Unfortunately haven't been able to score myself a trip to Florida, so won't be at GearUp. Hopefully the presentations will make it onto devnet at some point.

Thanks,

Rich.

Hi Rich,

I am sorry that I am going to miss getting the opportunity to meet you at GearUp Smiley Sad

. I think we have a great line-up of topics for people to learn from. It is true that we will make the Developer presentations available online after GearUp for people unable to attend Smiley Happy

. Hopefully you will be able to make it to a future event.

Thanks,

Heather
