It's pretty clear to me.

1. You do not meet the "Individual Developer" clause because you have a company that sells the software.
2. Under the "Organization" clause, you meet the requirement for number of users. You have to decide if the company has less than $1 million in revenue. If you do, you can use Community Edition.


>Hi,

>I've been doing some research into upgrading my Visual Studio 2010 version. I am an independent developer but sell my services as a limited liability company (the company's only employee is me). I generally develop unique applications for clients to use within their own business meeting their own unique business needs but I also have an application that I sell "off the shelf". Is the Community Edition of VS 2015 suitable for my situation?

>Any individual developer can use Visual Studio Community, to create their own free or paid apps.
>Organizations
> An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following scenarios:

> For all other usage scenarios: In non-enterprise organizations up to 5 users can use Visual Studio Community. In
