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.

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The most common cause is having the system clock out-of-date.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 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'd like to find the installation path of Office 2013 programmatically.
I saw in this discussion that the method working for Office 2007 and 2010 (looking in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstallRoot registry key) doesn't work anymore for Office 2013 and that the best way is to look into the registry keys
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
for Windows 32-bits or
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
for Windows 64-bits.
Is this supposed to work on every computer and for all versions of Office 2013 (Small business, Professional, etc) and Windows (7 and 8)? Or is there another solution?
You are almost there.
You can check uninstall registry key to get office install path.
As you mentioned registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} is like a product guid, you can treat it as a pattern to retrieve office path, I think they will be same installed on win7 or win8.
However, about different office version Small business, Professional... The guid may be same or different which depends on office implementation, you need to double confirm.
I have been trying to install the new Visual Studio 2013 Professional RTM all day, and the installation keeps hanging at the same place every time.
I have been searching high and low for help resources for this and can find absolutely nothing, so this is kind of my last resort.
The system configuration is as follows;
Windows 8.1 RTM 64-bit Professional
Intel i7 CPU
8 GB RAM
I am trying to install with only the C++ Foundation Classes, Web Developer Tools, and SQL Developer Tools.
I continue to get locked up at this part of the process.
The first thing to confirm is that the hash for your downloaded ISO matches that published by Microsoft. Since ISO's don't have built-in CRC checking, this is a common problem. Depending on the source of your download (MSDN, download.microsoft.com, etc.) the SHA1 hash is usually published along with the download. On MSDN Subscriber downloads click on Details for the relevant download.
If that doesn't help, please contact Microsoft Support (http://support.microsoft.com) for assistance.
Hope that helps.
I'm working on getting the full license for VS 2008 (or my boss is) but my trial has expired, and I need to do some work.
How can I re-install?
Or, if I install on a different machine (or virtual machine) - how can I get another key without going through the whole download process from MS again?
I'd think you could probably do most of the same work in the free Express Edition, until you get the full license.
