With the introduction and availability now of Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition, you’re likely to run into the following error that users of the CTP & Betas will not have seen before. The full error message is

TF31001: Team Foundation cannot retrieve the list of team project from Team Foundation Server. The Team Foundation Server returned the following error: The request failed with HTTP status 403: DomainUser is not a licensed user.

This is due to the new measures put in place to limit the numbers of users of the TFS Workgroup edition to five. What you need to do is add your user accounts into the “Team Foundation Licensed Users” TFS global group. Rob Caron gives us the full story on this in his post “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition”.
