Bạn đang xem: How to change visual studio 2012,2013 or 2015 license key?
Is there a easy way khổng lồ remove tha reg info or swap my keys?
Thanks


I had the same problem và wanted khổng lồ change the hàng hóa key khổng lồ another. Unfortunate it"s not as easy as it was on VS2010.
The following steps work:
Remove sầu the registry key containing the license information:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTLicenses77550D6B-6352-4E77-9DA3-537419DF564B
After you remove this key, VS2012 will tell you that it"s license information is incorrect. Go to "Programs and features" & repair VS2012.
After the repair, VS2012 is reverted to lớn a 30 day trial and you can enter a new product key. This could also be used khổng lồ stay in a trial version loop and never enter a producy key.

For me, with Visual Studio 2013, it wasn"t enough lớn remove the license key and perform a repair (the repair restored the license key instead of reverting to lớn a trial, & running it without the repair (after deleting the key) claimed the license had expired but wouldn"t let me enter a new key).
I had to:
Discover what license key Visual Studio was looking for in the registry with Process Monitor (it was HKCRLicensesE79B3F9C-6543-4897-BBA5-5BFB0A02BB5C)Completely uninstall Visual Studio 2013 (save CurrentSettings.vssettings first)Delete the license key from the registry by h& in regeditInstall Visual Studio using the publicly available web installer (which doesn"t have any baked-in license key -- it installs a 30-day trial)Enter my new license key(Re-)install updates (Update 1 at this time)Restore settings by importing the backup I made of CurrentSettings.vssettingsShare

For those of you using Visual Studio 2017 Professional, the registry key is:
HKCRLicenses5C505A59-E312-4B89-9508-E162F8150517
I also recommkết thúc you first export the registry key, before you delete it, so you"ll have sầu a backup if you accidentally delete the wrong key.

To see what"s inside these HKCRLicenses useAPI Monitor v2
API-Filter find RegQueryValueExW ^-Enable all from Advapi32.dll CryptUnprotectData ^- Enable all from Crypt32.dll + Breakpoint / after Callsample data that"ll come out from CryptUnprotectData:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTLicenses4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F 7078
-> For a quick"n"dirty sneak into an expired VS I recommkết thúc khổng lồ read this post. However that"s just good for occasional use, till you get all the sign up và login crap properly done again ;)
Okay the real meat is here:%LOCALAPPDATA%MicrosoftVisualStudio14.0Licenses ^- This path comes from HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio14.0Licenses715f10eb-9e99-11d2-bfc2-00c04f9902351
