pricing, legal workaround =)
Professional edition
does not require any server license key and has a limitation of maximum
20 build configurations configured.
Enterprise edition
edition 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” workaround
There’s no limit on number of TeamCity servers in
one local network
