Visual Studio 15 Preview 5 : License expiration issue

I installed Visual Studio 15 Preview 5 on my office pc successfully and signed in with my hotmail account into it. There it says the license for this pre-release software is licensed to my hotmail account which will end on 31 January 2017 as shown below:

When I installed the same Visual Studio 15 Preview 5 on my home pc and tried setting up the same hotmail account then it gives licensing error. It says

License: Prerelease software. Your license has expired.

enter image description here

Is anyone aware of such an issue? Is there any limitation on configuring Visual Studio 15 preview 5 build on several machines with same live id?

As for me, this error was solved after I've restarted Windows to install the updates. When I logged in after the system restart, VS 15 Preview 5 installer has auto-started and finished its job - and my VS 15 installation is fully working since then.

I was facing the same issue - it seams that the installer doesn't finish successfully. Starting the installer again told me that it was interrupted. Running the installer solved the issue for me.
