I want to setup Jira in my private network on Windows for free for up to 10 users.
Is this possible? for free?
I have downloaded Jira Software and setting it up on a Windows machine but it's asking for license key. Can we get a free license key for 10 users? If yes, How?

We want to access our on premises TFS with VSTS CALs. We were trying it with the following information from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com.
We created a user in VSTS with Basic level permissions. It allowed us to create with the email ID of the user. Where as we can not login to the TFS Server with the email ID.
We didn't understand how the VSTS license integrates with our TFS on premises.
Please let us know how we can use VSTS CALs to access TFS Server.
Just as Edward said in the comment, you must first configure your VSTS account have the corresponding access and permission in TFS server.
For example, if you have a domain account company/Ram Datla / Ram Datla#company.com and the user have add in your local TFS server.
For TFS you pay per user for team members who need to use Basic
features like Code or Agile Planning. Team members who have a Visual
Studio subscription are free to add because Basic features are
included in their subscription as a benefit.
If you haven't paid for this Ram Datla#company.com account. You could also be able to access TFS server , however just as a stakeholders, which provides access to a limited set of features. It's also free to add stakeholders to TFS.
If you have paid for the Ram Datla#company.com account with Basic level, then you could also use this account to also have Basic level(who need to use Basic features like Code or Agile Planning) in your local TFS server. Thus you don't have to pay this user again.
Q: Why should I pay via VSTS for my TFS users?
A: You get many benefits, for example:
Paying via VSTS gives your users the flexibility to access both TFS and VSTS for the same price.
You can pay monthly for users who need temporary access.
You get all the purchasing capabilities that Azure offers, like payment via credit card, through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP)
partner, through the Enterprise Agreement, and more.

Also take a look at the different Authentication of TFS and VSTS.
I am developing an industry vertical application. Companies are small businesses who will use the application for client management, scheduling, personnel, hiring, billing, etc. The financial records are accurate in the system but most businesses will have their own accounting software, typically Quickbooks for Windows (note: I am NOT interested in any discussion of Quickbooks Online).
I want to enable users to click a button and download their data into QB for Windows, as they do at a bank or credit card account. I cannot find any documentation on that - it's all on QBOnline. Any guidance?
You need to use QBSDK for this.

We have recently installed TFS 2010. Our Active Directory users (i.e. my company's staff) can access it just fine.
However, we also have contractors working in the office who do not have an AD account. I am having difficulty trying to get the non-AD users to connect to TFS through Visual Studio. The contractors are on the same LAN but have no AD account, which we do to restrict access to other resources on the network.
I created local Windows user accounts on the server for the contractors. With the local account they can access the TFS web front end but still cannot connect through Visual Studio.
Is there any way to do this? Do the contractors need to have Remote Desktop access to the server itself?
You should definitely give your contractors AD accounts. If you want to restrict access to internal resources, you can use Organisational Units in AD, like
MyCompany
Employees
Contractors
And set access restrictions to your resources according to groups linked to the OUs.
Giving remote access to the server will just create another set of issues.
When you install a non Express version of TFS, you need an AD for authentication, you can't use properly the TFS server from a non AD account.
From this point you have two solutions:
Create AD account for contractors (one per company or one per user, your call).
Create a domain Trust between your domain and the contractor's one. See this documentation for more info.
I don't understand clearly the Remote Desktop part, explain please.

What you need is your Firewall is recognized by the Windows Security Center. Microsoft distributes guidance about how applications from ISVs can report status to Windows Security Center under a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). To request details about how to participate in this ISV program, you must send an mail to wscisv#microsoft.com.

Note: Azure DevOps Server was previously named Visual Studio Team Foundation Server.
To license TFS server, you’ll need a TFS server license and a
Windows operating system license (Windows Server is best) for each
machine running TFS, plus a client access license for each person
connecting to TFS. Client access licenses (CALs) aren’t required for
people who just access work items – assign them “Stakeholder” access,
which is free.
Extensions to TFS such as Test Manager, Package Management, and
Private Pipelines require an additional purchase. Some TFS Extensions
are included with Visual Studio Enterprise subscriptions and many
others are free. Paid extensions can also be purchased monthly, no
Visual Studio subscription is required.
In your case, you need to first upgrade your express/trial version to full edition of Azure DevOps Server. Upgrading an express installation to a full Azure DevOps Server version requires that you also upgrade from SQL Express to a SQL Server Standard or Enterprise edition. Then just the same as license with Azure DevOps Server full version.
Besides, unlike the Classic Purchasing above, if you don't want to buy a MSDN subscription.
Suggest you to use Modern Purchasing.
The most advantage: No need to make a 3-year purchasing commitment for
TFS—you can pay month-to-month and cancel any time. For example: Buy
VSTS for TFS CALs. When you buy VSTS users (starting at $6/month),
those same users have a TFS CAL and can connect to any TFS in your
organization. If those users also need TFS extensions like Test
Manager or Package Management, or if you need additional Private
Pipelines for your team, you can purchase these through the Visual
Studio Marketplace. All VSTS charges are month-to-month. See detailed
instructions.
For more info you could take a look at this official doc: Team Foundation Server Pricing
Lastly, If you want to double confirm this and know more information about TFS license, you could call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find contact information in their locations: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/
There is no key for Azure Devops server. However, you need to buy Server and Client access license from Microsoft reseller. See details here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/devops/server/
