Visual Studio subscriptions also allow the licensed user to evaluate the software and to simulate customer environments in order 11 © 2019 Microsoft Corporation. Each licensed user may install and use the software on any number of devices to design, develop, test, and demonstrate their programs. Licensed for Design, Development, Testing, and Demonstrating Your ProgramsĪll Visual Studio subscriptions and Visual Studio Professional are licensed on a per-user basis. I'll discusss internally to see if we can somehow further clarify that with "Visual Studio Professional" below we mean the standalone license. I'll pass along the feedback that this may not be as clearly stated in our licensing whitepaper.Įdit: I just checked and it does state the following in the licensing whitepaper. From a licensing standpoint, you can certainly use it on your home computer as well. The standalone license of Visual Studio 2019 (which is what you have) is also per user, as others have mentioned. I've got a new computer at work in the past and uninstalled it from the old one to reinstall on the new one, but this situation is kind of different in that I want to retain everything on my work computer and only temporarily disable the license there (where with the old computer, I didn't care if I completely uninstalled, I had no plans on using it again). If there isn't an easier way to do this, then that makes me wonder if I'm maybe not supposed to do what I'm considering doing and if it maybe goes against the terms (which I'm not trying to do). After some quick Googling, I saw some people saying to uninstall to deactivate, others talked about removing a registry key, but it seemed weird that there wasn't an easier option. I looked briefly and I saw the option to view the license status, but not the option to deactivate or anything. I was wondering if there was an easy way to temporarily "deactivate" the license on my work computer, install Visual Studio on my computer at home (so I can work locally) using the same license, then when this is all over deactivate it on my computer at home and re-activate it on my computer at the office. I've been working from home for the past week and while I have remote access, using Visual Studio over the RDP connection isn't always great. We don't have the subscription, and I believe our licensing is per machine. At work we have Visual Studio 2019 Professional.
