Free Professional vs. paid Enterprise version, pricing, legal workaround =)

Professional editiondoes not require any server license key and has a limitation of maximum 20 build configurations configured.

Enterprise editionedition with unlimited number of build configurations ($1999).Each TeamCity edition comes bundled with 3 agents. More Build Agents can be added with separate licenses ($299 per each).

“Legal” workaroundThere’s no limit on number of TeamCity servers in one local network
