For what it is worth, Visual Studio worked fine on this machine before the trial period expired. The only positive results occur when I go back to the screen with the warning statement and click on the box in the lower right corner which contains "Exit Visual Studio". The "Sign in" box responds, "To sign in start by entering a user ID", but I can enter nothing on the screen, no account number, no email address, I can enter no text whatsoever into either box. Please sign in to unlock the product," I click on the "SIGN IN"īox on the left side of the panel and up comes a panel with "Sign in to your account" in the upper left corner of the panel, and boxes to enter "Email or phone" and Password", followed by a blue box marked, "Sign in". After a while there appears a panel which has "Sign in to Visual Studio" on the left side, and Visual Studio Community 2017" on the right side.īeneath Visual Studio is the statement, "License 30 day trial (for evaluation purposes only) Your evaluation period has ended.
Only one who is experiencing this situation? What am I doing wrong? VS 2017 Community works fine on another computer, That is registered under my email address. How can I make the computer forget that a previous version of VS had been installed and the trial period expired? I have, in the course of several iterations, manually deleted PACKAGE, SETUP, andĢ017 folders from their respective locations. Every download resulted in identical situation, notification that my 30-day trial period had expired, and unresponsive Downloaded and installed new copies of VS 2017 Community several TIMES. Several times and several ways, including VISUALSTUDIOUNINSTALLER. Tried to sign in but sign-in screen would accept no key strokes, only close screen, then exit Visual Studio. Installed VS 2017 Community on second computer.
