Answer 1

You need to connect your MSDN subscription to the account that you use for connecting to Visual Studio Team Services. You do this by visiting https://my.visualstudio.com/subscriptions (previously http://www.msdn.com) and following the steps to activate your subscription.

Otherwise VSTS cannot determine if you have a valid license, and hence the message downgrade you to Stakeholder, a license type that does not allow you to view code.
