Visual Studio 2015 (License: This license has expired)

I downloaded Visual Studio 2015 Community, I installed the program and after clicking LAUNCH, it says that the license has expired with on top of it license: Prerelease software.

I can't click anything other than that just signing in which doesn't help either.

I tried everything:

  1. repairing (control panel > programs > programs and features).
  2. uninstalling Visual Studio and reinstalling.
  3. deleting all the trace of the program via revouninstaller and reinstalling it again.
  4. downloading the iso. file and installing it from my drive.
  5. unpacking the iso. file then installing it again.
  6. waiting for a miracle and trying to reinstalling it 10 times more.
  7. trying to search for a solution on the internet.

All the things that i tried didn't work, i just got stuck on the "sign in to visual studio" page.

If I click close, the entire program just closes off.

I know there a similar questions to this, but nothing worked for me.

I really want this to be solved, I just got really tired, installing this program over and over again.

So I hope that someone might help me.

ps: I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 about a month ago.

pps: English is not my native language so I hope you understand what my problem is regarding this issue.

ppps: This is my first time asking a question on the internet, if I didn't clearify something about my problem then i apologize.

This worked for me with VS 2015 Pro:

Ultimate 2015 CTP License Expiration

In short, the license error could happen if you are installing from a path which contains spaces.

Someone reported a similar problem for the Team Foundation Server here. This was his workaround:

  1. Uninstall if you have it installed.
  2. Mount the ISO and get the versions for the 4 C++ runtimes (2 are 32-bit and 2 are 64-bit). Uninstall all of these.
  3. From the ISO, run all 4 of the C++ runtime installers as administrator
  4. From the ISO, run the main TFS installer as administrator

Maybe the same works for your Visual Studio installation?

Note that the Visual Studio ISO contains 3 versions of the C++ runtime (11, 12 and 14), so you should try to reinstall all 6 of those.
