Rick Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 A couple days ago I get a screen popping up in VS Express 2013 Desktop that says my 30 day trial has expired. There is a link that says "Check for an updated license" but when I click it, it just says "Failed to download a new license". There is a Sign In button but it never asks for my username/pw and says it fails. I'm connect online fine. Anyone experience this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times already. Can't figure this out! Quote
Josh Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I had to sign in for it to work past the trial, but I don't remember the details of that. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
Rick Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 When I click the sign in button it doesn't prompt me for any id/pw so I can only assume it's using my Win 8.1 account that's link to my Live account and for some reason that's not letting me renew a license. >< Quote
xtreampb Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Do you have an MSDN account. Same thing as the MS live account a few years ago. They are free. You can use your xbox/windows live account as they can all be linked together. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

Rick Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 They are all linked together and set to my gmail account. Quote
Roland Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I haven't done anything with LE3.1 so far as I simply haven't got the time for it.However when I do the first thing is to write my self a VS2013 to CodeBlocks Project converter.Although VS2013 is very good, its slow, big and bulky (I use it at work each day). CodeBlocks is then quite slick and you don't have to bother about Sign In and expires. Further on you have the same IDE on both Linux and Windows. Of course I will share such a converter when and if I make one. 2 Quote Roland Strålberg Website: https://rstralberg.com
Ma-Shell Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 CodeBlocks actually already has the ability to import a VS-solution: File -> import project -> MS Visual C++ Workspace / MS Visual C++ Project / MS Visual Studio Project / MS Visual Studio Solution I haven't tried any of those yet but this might be worth a shot.

Rick Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 So on my laptop when I opened VS 2013 it gave me the same prompt, but this time when I clicked the Sign In button it prompted me to enter my id/pw and when I did it worked just fine. Not sure why it's not allowing me to do so on my desktop though. Quote
Roland Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 CodeBlocks actually already has the ability to import a VS-solution: Yes I know that, but there as some minor issues to solve there. Haven't looked at it yet, so maybe with some luck a converter won't be needed. Quote Roland Strålberg Website: https://rstralberg.com
cassius Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I just checked vs 2013 and it says it is icenced to me. I don't recall signing in for it although I did for vs 2010 sometime ago. Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++
Kavex Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm so glad Microsoft employee gave me the full version of 2013 for free during an event. Quote Steam Profile /r/Leadwerks
