Visual Studio 2010 Pro includes LightSwitch. How?
Heading says it all really. I would like to use LS for a reporting/simple management app I have to write, but I doubt I'll be able to get a license for a singe bit of development. I've heard some people say LightSwitch comes with VS2010 Pro, but as I already had the beta installed before I got 2010, I'm not really sure where I stand!
I didn't find any information if Lightswitch is shipped with VS2010 prof (don't think so) as far as I can read my MSDN-Download description:
Available to Levels: Developer AA; VS Pro with MSDN (Retail); VS Premium with MSDN (MPN); BizSpark Admin; BizSpark; VS Ultimate with MSDN (VL); VS Premium with MSDN (VL); VS Pro with MSDN (VL); VS Premium with MSDN (Retail); VS Ultimate with MSDN (Retail); VS Ultimate with MSDN (MPN); MSDN AA Institution; VS Ultimate with MSDN (NFR FTE);
you will get it when you have at least a VS Pro with MSDN subsrciption .. maybe this heps as well

Got an error thats says i have an VS 13 premium

Reinstalling the VS13 using installer don't solve problem.
HOWTO?!
VS 2013 Pro and VS 2013 Community Edition are essentially the same product. With the only difference being licensing terms, there are undoubtedly conflicts between components.
Q: Isn’t Visual Studio Community really just Visual Studio
Professional?
A: While the two editions share the same features
today, the licensing terms determine who can use this product. We
continue to invest in our paid offerings including MSDN subscription
benefits and services, which many Visual Studio Professional users can
take advantage of today.

Will we see a release of VS2013 RC on Dreamspark (Student version of MSDN)?
I wish to download vs2013RC. But not a trial one.. On microsoft's site, it has a trial download link which ends after 90 days.
Seems like it is out as of today (27 Oct). Note that while the ad mentions only the Professional edition being available on Dreamspark, you can also download the Premium. However as far as the Ultimate edition goes - which contains the new CodeLens feature - is still available only in RC. It is not yet clear whether VS Ultimate (final) will be available on Dreamspark.
Also I see that Vs2013 RTM is released on dreamspark now.
I see the VS2010 Pro includes LightSwitch. But from the LightSwitch website only has links to download the 30 day demo (which can be extended by 60 days with a registration).
I don't have a MSDN subscription. So how do I add this to my VS2010 Pro?
Though it not explicitly documented, seems like you can download "full" version of LightSwitch for VS 2010 only if you have MSDN subscription or any of following levels:
Developer AA; VS Pro with MSDN (Retail); VS Premium with MSDN (MPN);
BizSpark Admin; BizSpark; VS Ultimate with MSDN (VL); VS Premium with
MSDN (VL); VS Pro with MSDN (VL); VS Premium with MSDN (Retail); VS
Ultimate with MSDN (Retail); VS Ultimate with MSDN (MPN); MSDN AA
Institution; VS Ultimate with MSDN (NFR FTE);
I'm developing a file system driver.
I use free build Windows as a target machine.
If I could get a checked build of Windows, I think I get more convenient. Isn't it.
But I do not know even where I can get it. Does it need a cost?
And what are the benefits I can get, when I use it.
Checked builds are available to MSDN subscribers from the MSDN download website.
The benefits are that when you attach a kernel debugger to debug your driver, you will gets lots of extra debugging information sent to the debug console, especially if you call any function with invalid parameters, it will be caught closer to the actual error because every function does parameter checking (that's the checked part of checked build) and print a warning.
Here is a link with more information
And a description of one of the checked builds available on MSDN:

I'm looking to upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 Pro to Visual Studio 2010 Pro without MSDN. On the MSDN US site there's pricing for Upgrade from Standard for $299.
On the UK MSDN site however, the only options are to buy with MSDN for £484.99. Obviously a big difference in price there!
I can't find any info as to what qualifies for the Upgrade from Standard - anyone know about this? Or whether it's available in the UK?
thanks
Richard
Not really a programming question... (but somehow it is.. it's VS after all :P)
But: Have you considered calling the microsoft support or sending them an email? I bet they can give you the sophisticated info on that matter.
The Upgrade from Standard is for
*Special upgrade for Visual Studio 2005/2008 Standard Edition customers. Does not include MSDN.
If you want more info go to
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/buy
and just above the BUY NOW button on the left there will be a link to Chat with a Representative. They should be able to tell you if you can upgrade from 2008 Pro to 2010 Pro.
I'm also not a MSDN member. As the owner of Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, I was able to purchase a Visual Studio 2010 Professional license for $299.
I'm assuming your confusion is coming from the fact that you own VS 2008 Pro and not VS 2008 Standard. I would think that you could take advantage of the same $299 offer, but as someone else said, I'd check with Microsoft sales first.
I believe the upgrade is from VS 2010 Standard to VS 2010 Pro - not from earlier editions.
