After Update 4 I am experiencing the following error message:
I am not even able to sign in to my Microsoft account but it was working ok before the update. Please let me know what I have to do to get it working again.
Licensing / Purchase
I signed into the IDE, but it’s still telling me that the trial will expire. What’s going on? The odds are that the account you signed
in with doesn’t have an MSDN subscription or Visual Studio Online
subscription associated with it. Sign in with an account that does and
the license should be issued automatically or apply a product key
Community Edition is telling me my trial has expired. Do I have to pay for Community edition? No, Community edition is free to use. We
use the same infrastructure that allows you to unlock VS w/ an online
subscription to manage the requirement of signing into Community
edition so some of our strings overlap cross these scenarios. Trial
here means the period you can use the community edition before you
must sign in to fully unlock the IDE.

Emphasis is mine. Does your account have a MSDN or Visual Studio Online subscription?
The most common cause is having the system clock out-of-date. Make sure your date and time are set correctly, and sync them online if you have to. This should fix your issue.

I downloaded a VM from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines
I used my windows license key to activate windows 10.
When I launched Visual Studio, a box pops up saying:
License: 30 day trial (for evaluation purposes only) Your evaluation
period has ended.
I click on the option "Check for an updated license", and it asks me to :
Type the email address or phone number of the account you want to sign
in with.
What's the point of this ? I thought the Visual Studio community edition was free. Are there any restrictions based on WHICH email address or phone number I use ? How long is a license valid for ? Should I use my work or personal email address, or does it not matter? Is there a way I can just use VS without having to register anything ?
Yes, you do need a license. The license is free and requires you to register (or confirm your registration) with Microsoft.
This ensures that are you are still in compliance with the community edition.
Registration and confirmation (or re-registration) is a condition to keep the Community Edition under an active support subscription.
You only need to register it with your Microsoft email account. Then you can use it as usual. Just give it your Microsoft email and password.
I have an account that was associated with another business, but has been disassociated. I have recently purchased Visual Studio Enterprise w/MSDN, and I am unable to redeem the Xamarin benefit because it tells me that my account is still associated with the previous business one.
I have verified that in the business account, my account is no longer associated and the seat it as using is not available (although the subscription has expired).
Can someone from Xamarin please help me correct this condition, I have been round and round with both microsoft telling me I need to contact Xamarin and Xamarin only pointing me back to microsoft.
I am using Xamarin with Visual Studio 2015.
A few days ago I upgraded my Xamarin-account from the standard/free license to a trial-business license, however since then I decided that I don't need the business license. So now I want to return my account to the normal/free version/license (because the apps built with the trial-business-license only work for 24 hours).
However it is not clear to me at all how to reset the license of my Xamarin-account.
I guess a solution would be to make a new Xamarin-account, however this seems a unsatisfactory solution to me.
Just log out of your Xamarin Account and you should automatically be using the community edition.
If you need your Xamarin account to get components from the component store and this trial stuff is giving you problems. I advise you to contact Xamarin and have them help you clear out your issues.
Make sure that your Visual Studio is up to date.
I have a crazy Licence issue with my VS2015 Enterprise. I'm a student and my school provide us many MS products. In the past and for the other version of VS, I download the iso in my account, and they generate a licence key and i just need applied it after the installation. With VS2015 Enterprise, i have do the same, I have a legit key on my OntheHub MS account when I have take the iso.
The Expire date finish in 2017 and my school tell me that my account is valid (for the other product of MS it works well).
But something is wrong in VS 2015. I can't apply the key. So at first, i have use the trial licence, but now, it will expire in 3 days.
I go to the licence key windows but when I touch "apply", nothing happen.
I have try :
format my computer
download a new ISO
repair VS
Uninstall and install again VS, with a clean in registry too.
I also look a lot of solution in Stackoverflow and MS Community.
Nothing work...
I'm running on Windows 10 with VS 2015 Enterprise Update 3.
Any Help ?
I'm trying to test Azure by publishing a basic web app. After signing in to Azure from Visual Studio, I'm met with the following message:
Sorry but we didn't find any Windows Azure subscriptions associated with your account.
You can sign in with a different account or sign up for a Windows Azure subscription.
I use Windows 8 with an attached ecu account, and have signed up to a trial Azure account under the same credentials (which I can log in to normally fine).
Results[1] from a similar problem suggest the accounts are mixed up, and to contact an admin with the ticketing system to rectify[2]. However selecting "Having issues with sign in or signing up for an account?" links me to a page, which quickly redirects me to another broken page and I am unable to proceed.
What is the best course in action in either:
publishing the app to Azure
contacting Microsoft about fixing my trial Azure account
Thank you

Found the answer on social.technet.microsoft.com
I found this article first, so I hope this helps others that find this before the MS article.

I know this is an old thread, but I was recently having a problem with visual studio 2015 where I could not sign in to Azure. I came across this SO entry. It was not helpful, but I eventually did find the answer.
The answer was to repair Visual Studio. It takes awhile to run but once it finished I was back in business with Azure in Visual Studio.
