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.

This seems like a weird problem. I've just upgraded to a brand new PC and I can't for the life of me work out where I can get visual studios 2010 from. I have my product key ready to go.
Has MS discontinued this product? If so is there a work around? Is my only option to (dare I say it) upgrade.
According to Microsoft there's no more Visual Studio 2010 for download from their (official) site.
Personally I really recommend you go straight to 2017 Community Edition - it has everything the 2010 Professional has and more.
The "more" includes built-in support for GitHub, "almost" full support for C++11 and some support for C++14, Windows 10 SDK, parallel builds, built-in support for Linux remote build/debugging... The list goes on and on.
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.

I am considering creating a simple ribbon tab with a few options that would significantly increase my productivity at work.
As far as I see from MSDN, I can only do this by using MS Visual Studio, but I don't really want to purchase one (though I am keen to share the code as an open source project).
Do you know if I can do this using Community Edition of the software or I need a Professional edition at least?
Answer is Yes, i.e you can do this using Community edition of Visual Studio.
May be not serious question/stupid question but I tried searching in internet for Visual Studio 2005 software (I mean free download :) ) but couldn't find a place where I can get it.
Do you guys know any site from where I can download the software. If yes, can you please share the link with me.
You can get all Microsoft Express tools from here
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
2005 is no longer on the main page (if available at all), but seriously consider 2010 or 2008 editions.
The free versions of visual studio can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/
if you're looking for Visual studio Web Developer Express 2005, as opposed to C#, Cnet's got it here:
http://download.cnet.com/Visual-Web-Developer-2005-Express-Edition/3000-10250_4-10421166.html
Now only if they had an edition that works with Windows 7...
I've read from a non reliable source that purchasing VS2010 Upgrade Edition (As opposed to full retail) is a valid licensing route when 'upgrading' from VS Express (free) - Can anyone confirm or refute this?
Thank you
It looks like this is true:
Before you buy
Eligible for upgrade with any previous
version of Visual Studio or any other
developer tool.
Visual Studio 2010 Professional
includes a 12-month MSDN Essentials
subscription. MSDN Essentials gives
you access to core Microsoft
platforms: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows
Server 2008 Enterprise R2, and
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Datacenter
R2.
Special information for trial users
If you're using a trial version of
Visual Studio Professional and you buy
the Visual Studio 2010 Professional
Upgrade, you can use the product key
you get on the receipt page to convert
your trial version to a full version.
This seems to say that you can upgrade from any competing product or any existing version of Visual Studio, even a trial one. It doesn't explicitly mention the Express edition, but you could always install the trial version and upgrade that instead.
I sell software and didn't want to violate the license agreement. So, I chatted with a MS rep (and have the chat log), then called the licensing number and was told the same thing from both. The upgrade license is valid from ANY prior version (including express). I asked about express specifically and more than once and was told this was just fine.
