I get the following message and cannot proceed to do any other work within Visual Studio 2017 RC : This prerelease has ended. This prerelease has expired. Thank you for your participation. Upgrade to the latest version of this product to keep working without interruption.
Upgrade your prerelease Check for an updated license.
No other options on the screen work. ie. "Upgrade your prerelease" or "Check for an updated license. I currently have a valid MSDN license, so this should not be an issue.
Update: The VS team has fixed the issue on their end. You do not need to perform these steps, simply check for an updated license. (I'm leaving this answer up in case there is a regression in the future.)
Install Fiddler and turn on HTTPS decryption. Create an AutoResponder rule that matches:
regex:(https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/_apis/Licensing/ClientRights/VisualStudio.*)prerelease(.*)
And replaces with:
$1release$2
With that rule enabled, check for a license again. You should wind up with a trial license that will last until April.
Fiddler should look similar to this when configured (intercepted requests shown on the left):
My HTTPS configuration in Tools->Telerik Fiddler Options looks like:
This was a server side bug that Microsoft has now fixed.
See the Visual Studio Team's response
Only solution I've found at the moment is to change the date to the past by a year. For example today's date is 2ndJune2017, if you change the date to 2ndJune2017 and open Vs 2017 RC version, it should work.
I won't consider this as a proper fix but its the only solution worked for me.

I'm a contractor and I just switched companies with which I'm working. They hand out to their devs ReSharper licenses. The problem is, I already have a personal ReSharper license that's expiring in a few months and since I'm in the middle of the setup and onboarding process, I'd like to go ahead and switch my JetBrains license details.
Other than possibly uninstalling and reinstalling ReSharper, I can't figure out, find or even Google a way to switch licenses. Is there a way that I can simply input a new license key in ReSharper in VS or, maybe, pass in a parameter to an app with the updated details?
I can do a reinstall if I need to but I (and others I'm sure) would rather avoid this.
In he VS2017 menu, you see an entry Resharper, click on it and next Help->License Information ...
Here you can remove the old license and add the new one.
I was on windows 7 with Visual Studio 2017 with data tools held in tfs. I have a reporting solution that runs great. Today I installed the exact same thing on a windows 10 machine and first thing it did was asked to upgrade the solution and now every time I open the solution it asks if I want to use source control binding. Happening on a co-workers machine also. Anyone have any idea what is happening?
The tfs server version is 2015
Open up your solution (.sln) file in notepad. Double check if there are the section that has references to Scc like below
GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
SccNumberOfProjects = 1
SccEnterpriseProvider = {4CA58AB2-18FA-4F8D-95D4-32DDF27D184C}
SccTeamFoundationServer = http://yourtfs:8080/tfs/defaultcollection
SccLocalPath0 = .
SccProjectUniqueName1 = WebApplication\\WebApplication.csproj
SccProjectName1 = WebApplication
SccLocalPath1 = WebApplication
EndGlobalSection
Also try to unbind the specific solution and rebind it. How to do this please refer this link.
Finally clear TFS and VS cache, then try to open the solution again see if issue is gone.
That's a known issue for the SSDT 17.3 for Vsual Studio 2015 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/changelog-for-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt#ssdt-173-for-visual-studio-2015
Maybe someone is using that version and causing an issue
This question actually is an implicit answer, since I could fix the problem in the meantime for myself. But I wanted to publish my experience, since some other developers might have a similar problems.
The problem:
I am using VS2010 prof SP1 on Windows XP SP3, pure C++ only. (AntiVirus software present).
Since some days Intellisense - which is quite helpful under normal conditions - does not work anymore.
Things tried:
created a new simple console application. -> Intellisense still not working.
resetting VS-Settings by means of Tools/Import & Export Settings/Reset. -> Intellisense still not working
Changes to option settings in Text-Editor/C++/Advanced inclusive logging did not help.
-> Intellisense still not working
There was actually an interesting observation:
Intellisense normally creates a directory 'ipch' in the solution directory to store intermediate files. In my solution folders it disappeared as soon as the solution was opened. When I created a folder 'ipch' and opened the solution Intellisense removed the folder again - strange.
The final fix:
During the last week some new Windows updates were installed. I noticed some other unusual behaviour of my PC as well. After having created an image of my PC, I decided to
uninstall Windows updates from 2013-09-11 (4 packages) and one update from 2013-08-28.
(unfortunately I did not note down the KB-numbers)
AND: out of a sudden Intellisense is working again !
Maybe this report could be helpful for some other persons.
Automatic Updates are now disabled on my PCs.
Confirmed 100%
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel
Microsoft NET framework 4.0.30319 RTMRel
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
Intellisense stops working after installing KB2876217.
Intellisense is back after removing update.
I had the same problem and also had the idea that one of the Windows Updates is buggy, so I can confirm your report.
I tried to uninstall them one-b<-one and found the "bad guy":
KB2876217 destroys intellisense for VS2010 under XP SP3.
A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft to fix this issue. Check at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2526044/en-us
Actually, it may not be such a good idea to uninstall update KB2876217. Instead, install Visual Studio SP1 update (if not already installed) and then install update KB2526044. I have tried it before and it does work...
before a days I was search for an open source actionscript server side, I found Project Darkstar (red dwarf) and I save the name in my mind to return to it when I will be free, now I'm free and I want to download it but I don't found it.
what happened to it? if I found the server uploaded can I adopt it as my game sever side ?
Unfortunately it appears that RedDwarf server is not being actively worked on. Although its website (http://www.reddwarfserver.org) is no longer active, the code can be found at https://github.com/reddwarf-nextgen/reddwarf .
Project Darkstar began as a personal project of Jeff Kesselman in 1999. It later became a research project at Sun Microsystems, February 2, 2010, Oracle shut down the project, and a community fork has been made called RedDwarf Server. RedDwarf server is distributed under GPLv2 with the server APIs being made specially available under GPLv2 + classpath exception.

We're running Sitecore 6.5 with a few TDS projects, and I've been trying to get TFS builds to work on our TFS Build server. We receive the following error when the projects attempt to build:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\HedgehogDevelopment\SitecoreProject\v9.0\HedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.targets (354):
Exception Invalid License(Exception) in file sitecore\content.item.
Stack trace: at HedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.Tasks.CollectSitecoreItems.Execute()
We've installed TDS on the build server, and I've verified in the registry that the license key matches to our license. Not quite sure what might be the next step. Has anybody encountered this issue with TDS continuous integration builds before?
I appreciate that this is an old question but wanted to add this in case anyone else stumbles upon it.
I've been setting up TDS on Visual Studio Online (what was TFS Online) following this wonderful article from Michael Edwards: http://www.experimentsincode.com/?p=586
Although it's a bit vague at the end of the article - you can actually include the License info with a config file. You have to add this file manually here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\HedgehogDevelopment\SitecoreProject\v9.0
Call the file TDSLicense.config
Save the following (with your license information in) in the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<license Owner="CompanyName" Key="aaaa-bbb-ccc-dddd" />
If it's a permissions issue with reading the license from the registry - this should sort it out.
Micheal's blog post is well worth a read - it goes over and above what I've detailed here.
I'm not exactly sure I have an answer, but 2 things that happen to me frequently are:
The Hedgehog license expires once a month (not sure if that's my companie's agreement)
Sometimes I can't use TDS sync unless I re-install the SiteCore connector. Luckily, there's a button built-in for that: just right-click on TDS in Visual Studio, and select "Install SiteCore connector".
Hope this helps.
