问题
I want to remove my license key in visual studio 2017. how can i do it? I am trying to change the product key but I cant.
回答1:
Well I found two possible solutions.
1. Setting new product key with StorePID.exe (MS Docs).
- navigate to VS 2017 installation directory (
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE) - start
cmdas admin - execute
StorePID.exe <your_new_product_key> <MPC> - maybe a restart
Possible Microsoft Product Codes (MPC) are:
08860Visual Studio Enterprise 201708862Visual Studio Professional 201708866Visual Studio Test Professional 2017
2. Removing product key first and set new one.
- open register editor
- navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\5C505A59-E312-4B89-9508-E162F8150517and delete it - exeute a repair installation of VS 2017
- enter your new product key under Help > Register Product
It's not the best way to solve it, but faster than deinstall and install the complete IDE.

For VS 2015, a key is
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F
for what it's worth...

For VS 2019 the registry key is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\41717607-F34E-432C-A138-A3CFD7E25CDA
