Replacing SourceSafe with StarTeam - is it viable for me?2005-02-28 11:08:53 AM off-topic4 I connect to a company's SourceSafe database via VPN, but due to performance problems we are looking for alternatives. I initially suggested SourceOffsite by SourceGear, but as a result they are investigating migrating the VSS database to SourceGear Vault. I know nothing about this repository, and would be quite keen for them to migrate to StarTeam instead. I own two StarTeam Standard editions (v5.4 and v6.0), which came with my Delphi 8 and Delphi 2005 SKUs, and am wondering whether these can be utilized to help to sell them on the idea. Considering I already use a named user license to connect to a local StarTeam server (or will do once I can get it working again :-( ), can this named user license be used to connect to another StarTeam server? Or is it against the license to have one named user license registered with two seperate servers. Alternatively, can a StarTeam 5.4 client license be used to connect to a StarTeam 6 or 2005 repository? Also, what is the performance of the client like when using it over the internet. Is it acceptable, or quite sluggish? The last thing I want is to suggest a solution which had comparable performance issues. -- Cheers, David Clegg XXXX@XXXXX.COM Vote 1 cc.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing :-) Now supports Google Groups searching with Dyna-extend(tm) technology!
