Where can I download Visual Sourcesafe?

Question

Where can I download Microsoft Visual Sourcesafe? I use MS Visual Studio 2010.

Is this software free or must pay to use it? I try to google but no download page is at Microsoft's site

Why do you need it? Visual SourceSafe is no longer maintained (mainline support ended in 2012, extended support ends in 2017). It is no longer shipped since MSVS 2010. — Erbureth, Oct 23 '14 at 09:38
I recommend you use another source control software such as GIT, Subversion or Mercurial — chiapa, Oct 23 '14 at 09:40
Using a newer product won't access the information needed in SourceSafe ... to move to another product. One needs VSS just to extract the assets. — RBerman, Apr 22 '19 at 16:35

I found this

With Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft no longer distributes Visual SourceSafe. Microsoft now offers Team Foundation Server Basic for smaller development teams. There is a hotfix so existing SourceSafe customers can use SourceSafe with Visual Studio 2010.

Why the sad smiley? After being forced to use VSS for more than an hour I am more than happy that it was buried by MS! – Dominik Sandjaja Mar 27 '15 at 15:49
Im moving backwards on this current project. So you are telling me I have to install VS2010 and I can't use VS2013 with VSS?? :-( – JoshYates1980 May 16 '16 at 16:12
