    Nice to see that the license manager on VS 2013 lives up to expectations. I regularly get the following error when firing up Visual Studio This license will expire in 2147483647 days. Your license has gone stale and must be updated. Ah good, so it isn't expiring anytime soon then :doh: Clicking the "Check for an updated license" clears it for another month (or however long it is until it reappears again). Think they forgot to do some testing around that feature...

    That's because you are not logged in to your MSDN account... (top-right corner under the title bar). The funny thing that we have a corporate license - so we all logged in with the same user...

    I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

      I know that. However the scenario should be better handled, I therefore class this as a bug. (Definitely not a feature!) :)

            int daysToExpire = Int32.MaxValue; //Ensure never expires.

            try {
            DateTime expiryDate = GetExpiryDate();
            daysToExpire = expiryDate - DateTime.Today;
            }
            catch {
            //Shhhhhhh................ Don't tell anyone that we could not infer the expiry date
            }

            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("This license will expire in {0} days.", daysToExpire));

                There may have been a small amount of sarcasm in that statement. Source: I'm British.

                  If that is the case, then I must be the first person to witness sarchasm[^] with my own sarcasm :-)

                    Use your MSDN account to get a product code, enter that instead of renewing the license. End of problem.

                    We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
