Visual Studio 2010 License
Posts
I would never expect it to work on Visual Studio that old. Just ain't gonna happen.
We were using Visual Studio 2010 to developer some apps for internal use.

Ok. That doesn't change things. VS2010 is ancient in developer-years. I don't think you can expect modern abilities like cross-platform development on latest devices on software that is approaching a decade old.
FYI and as an example. There is no licensing of Xamarin separately now. Its included with Visual Studio. Part of. Free. Included. No licensing. So that might explain why you can't hit a licensing server for it.

If you had an old standalone Xamarin license that you were using in the past with Visual Studio 2010 and you have a special scenario where updating to a more recent version of Visual Studio is not currently an option, then you can reach out via a support incident to request an offline license file that matches your old subscription. As a first set of information to include in the request, you can mention the Xamarin version you are using, your Visual Studio 2010 version information, and the email address associated with your old Xamarin license.
The support didn't help me.
I opened an incident (SR 118032017850407) and the guys suggested upgrade visual studio.
I asked if they could unlock my Xamarin, but they said that is impossible.
Usually, is possible to use the software that you bought until the operation system don't allow you to install anymore. But in this case they simple blocked us.Dude.. Its dead. The license server doesn't exist any more.. That's how out of date your system is. They aren't going to compile a special version for you that stops looking for the license server.
Update your system. The sharper image internet weather download.

Hmm. Depending on which support group you contacted and how you described the request, they might have misunderstood. I can send you a direct message here on the forums a little later today to request the information I would need to help provide you with an offline license based on your old Xamarin subscription.

I need you to enhance it by adding a licensing mechanism. You may need to edit some parts of the code but they should not have major impact on the core functionalities.
basically: add a feature that allows for a license key to be pasted for the software to work.

Hello all, Need to ask something about visual studio licensing. I have already ask with local reseller before buying the license they said it per developer licensing, so i count developer on my office get the number 4 in total so we buy 4 license 2010 professional Open license program so it can be downgrade to 2003 professional. I forgot to save my Visual Studio product key. How should I proceed? Update Cancel. If I buy Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, can I use the license key to install Visual Studio 2013? The above path will take you to the Visual Studio 2010 Product key. For Visual Studio 2008, simply change 10.0 to 9.0 and then you’re done.
the license has a validity date. this validity date is encrypted in the license key itself. once validity date expires, software will not work.

the license has a validity date. this validity date is encrypted in the license key itself. once validity date expires, software will not work.
the main issue will be:
1. i will generate the encrypted license key from PHP, so your VS2010 will decrypt this key and read the validity date.
2. users cannot share keys - this means that the license is tied to an account. The software has an xml config file that can be edited from the software. you will add a new numeric field that is tied up to the identity if the user/license. This means the encryption/decryption of the license key is dependent on the numeric value manually saved in the xml file via the software on first install.
2.1 - the encryption algorythm does not have to be complicated - i cannot stress this enough. don't wrack your brains on this since my users are few and not intelligent. I propose a simple encryption from ascii to hex, as php has this already:

- so just look for the VS2010 function that converts hex to ascii. taking into account that the numeric id of the user needs to be multiplied or divided to the hex value
3. the validity date must not be circumvented if the user changes his PC date.
4. when license is expired, the software will inform the user of such
5. the software will have a page for you to encode/paste the license
6. ** the software is actually a windows service, and a user interface box is provided in the taskbar. you encode license from the UI box
7. licenses are usually valid on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
