I installed Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web 30 days ago. I did not have access to this machine in the last two weeks and now the trail has expired. If i understand correctly you just need to sign in to your Visual Studio account from the application to extend this license. But the only thing i have access to is the screen Visual Studio shows me when starting the application.
This screen says:
License: 30 day trial (for evaluation purposes only)
This license has expired.
You are not able to update your license in this application.
I am behind a proxy but changed the VWDExpress config file as suggested as answer to other questions regarding extending the license behind a proxy. I have tried repairing Visual Studio and tried reinstalling it. Both did not change anything. I am wondering if anyone could help me what to try next.

I am trying to sign in with microsoft visual studio 2015 Enterprise edition with my microsoft account.
Error:
SP324099: Could not complete the operation.
My microsoft account is working fine in browser. I have seen already question posted :Visual Studio 2015 RC SP324099
But Could not find appropriate solution as I have updated Internet Explorer browser with latest version. Still m unable to continue by signing in with VS2015.
I was gettting this error to with the IE8 as it tries to redirect to https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf. I did **NOT upgrade* to a later version of IE instead I clicked on Check for updated licences, re-entered my Live account credentials and was good to go.
Have you tried Add an account... ?
Have you exhausted all the options mentioned in How to Unlock Visual Studio?
I have Visual Studio 2013 and I have a number of projects in Visual Studio Online, but I still have some old projects that are in Visual Source Safe. It works fine on two pcs but we have a third that when you try to set you source control Visual Source Safe does not show up.
Doe anyone have any ideas on how to add Visual Source Safe to VS 2013 so it will show as a choice in the dropdown.
According to Microsoft support:
Visual Source Safe is no more is an active product and its no surprise
if the plugin is not available in Visual Studio 2013 as Microsoft
stopped supporting it long ago and its replaced by Team Foundation
Server. If you are still using Visual Source Safe, its recommended to
upgrade to Team Foundation Server.
You can use Team Foundation Server Express (up to 5 users) for free
and use the Visual SourceSafe Upgrade Tool to import your project
directly into TFS. Or buy a full server from $400 and up.
Alternatively, you can open a Visual Studio Online account (free for 5
users) and migrate your sources to the cloud. You can add additional
users for a monthly license fee.
If you are an MSDN subscriber or Microsoft Partner, your subscription
might actually include a full TFS license.

Update : I've found that you have to install the VSS after VS2013 on your system. please reinstall it.
I was looking at what version of VS 2013 to upgrade to, and discovered that my company qualified as sufficiently small enough to use the VS 2013 Community Edition. So on 19th March, I downloaded it, and took it for a test-drive, building a small app.
But tonight just when I really need to rebuild that app, it tells me my 30-day trial has expired. What 30-day trial? Where was that mentioned?
Any suggestions as to how to get around this? I have a demo to do within a matter of hours, and I'm beginning to panic...
The wording is a bit bad, but once you sign in with a Microsoft Account you get a temporary license assigned that Visual Studio will try to refresh in the background. If the refresh fails for some reason, you will get this message and will need to click the "Check for an updated license" button on the Visual Studio Account screen.
This screenshot is from the Visual Studio 2015 RC, but the way the licensing works is the same:
I have installed VisualStudio 2013 Community, as per Microsoft documentation VisualStudio 2013 Community is free and will not require any license.
But today I saw a notification on VisualStudio 2013 community IDE prompting me to update the trial license. Is this a bug?
Have you signed in to Community?
Mean in your editor aswell on the homepage if necessary.
That should update the license and fix that. If you need to sign out after that you can. The license should be good for one year before you need to sign in again.
Otherwise it's a problem that you should address to the Microsoft VS Support not the SO Community
Actually there is a dirty work around without signing-in , I used a free tool called RunAsDate from this link http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html and set the date in the tool to the installation date. So the license never expires .
I had to install VStudio 2013 Community yesterday 2017 / 07 / 11 (170711), and I ran into the exact same issue.
Some context (I doubt that it makes any difference, but still):
I have 7 other VStudio versions (paid / unpaid) installed
Previously, I had a VStudio 2013 paid edition (I don't remember whether it was Enterprise or Professional) whose trial expired (after 1 month; I didn't bother to extend it for 2 additional months), so I have uninstalled it
I've Googled and found smth similar on [Unity.Forum]: Visual Studio Community 2015 - License has expired ?! (with a nice pic and stuff), which pointed out to: [MS.DevBlogs]: Visual Studio 2015 FAQ - 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.
So, after signing in (it's a simple email address/password sign in to MS), the IDE was unlocked. Staying signed in is not mandatory, I signed out, and the IDE still works.
Update
Today (180821), my VStudio license expired again for all 3 Community editions that I have installed.
Below, it's the VStudio 2015 locked version:
After signing in ([MS.Docs]: Sign in to Visual Studio), and optionally clicking "Check for an updated license", everything went back to normal. Posting some examples:
VStudio 2017:
Again, no need to stay signed in after performing the license upgrade.
VStudio 2019:
VStudio 2022 (not yet necessary):
I had the same issue. I signed out of visual studio, and restarted my PC. That solved the issue.
Hope this helps
I faced the same problem today with Visual Studio Community 2019. The warning disappeared after logout and login again from my Visual Studio account and restart it.
I've visual studio 2013 express installed on an old computer without network connection. Now after 30 days, it requires me to sign in to online account to update the license, or else I won't able to continue to use it. Anyone knows how to update the license offline?
