Visual Studio Community is complaining about an expired license. I am running the free version. Of what I can find on google included a support thread that essentially ended with “our engineers don’t have enough to go on to resolve this” dated from a while back and a project on git you uppack and run to rewrite your registry to manually update the expiration date which doesn’t seem entirely kosher. Other people must be running into this issue but I don’t see any threads for it. Any simple solutions would be appreciated. My internet connection is clearly working but I don’t know what “checking my proxy” amounts to but having seen this issue in the above mentioned support thread, I really don’t think that is the issue. My other options at this point seems like starting another account or uninstalling 2017 and updating to VSC 2019.
Sad there isn’t a solution but had to go with VS 2019. I got ignored in discord chat. maybe posted at the wrong time but 2 people were going back and forth about something and my question just got buried and i didn’t want to just spam my question.
