    Resolved [RESOLVED] VS 2019 License expired issue

    I just used PCMover to transfer my programs windows 10 to a new Windows 11 machine. Everything went pretty smooth except for my Visual Studio versions. I get a license expire screen. When I tell it to look for an updated license I get "We could not download a license. Please check your network connection or proxy settings" VS is still working fine on my old machine.

    I did some searching and tried the possible fixes. None have worked so far. Before I do an uninstall and reinstall I thought I'd ask if anyone here knows why this is happening.

    Thanks

    What edition of VS 2019 are you using? How is it licensed on the old machine? I'm guessing Community and via a Microsoft account but we shouldn't need to guess.

    Also, screenshots of the two licensing dialogues might help.

    BTW - This is a standard home single user desktop PC. One user account with ADMIN privileges. I only have one Microsoft account. I've never setup a proxy. VS on my old PC still works fine.

    EDIT: Well I bit the bullet and installed it(couldn't even find it in my "Installed Apps". And it works.

    I will but I like having previous versions of VS installed. Not all questions here are 2022 version questions.

    I have 2010,2015, 2017, 2019 on my old machine. Plan on adding 2022 once I get the new machine setup the way I want.
