As per this question (Can I install VS on two machines with one license?) as a single person I can use VS on as many computers as I wish, even at work and at home. My question is, can I use the one license to both write software at work for my company’s internal use, and write my own independent software from home that I sell? (My company paid for the license not me).
My guess would be no, but I can’t find anything to support or contradict that.
(disclaimer: I understand that responses are not official legal advice)
I’ll just say this. VS allows multiple installs for a single license. However, the installs are only allowed to be used by a single user. Extrapolating that, I would say, if your business has 5 licenses, and THEY allow you to use one, then you can install it at home according to the license. More importantly, I would ask your company if their policy allows that.
The VS license allows multiple installs for a single user. Your company, on the other hand, may not like the idea of you moonlighting with their software. =)

Page 8 states that Visual Studio is an ‘Individual Development Tool’ and is licensed per user.
