If you are an individual developer, you can use Visual Studio Community to create your own free or paid apps without buying the product. If you want to use it in an organization, an unlimited number of users within that organization can use Visual Studio Community in a classroom learning environment, for academic research or for contributing to open source projects. In non-enterprise organizations, up to 5 users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (with >250 PCs or > $1MM in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.
