VS2013 had a static product key – it just varied depending on the edition you wanted to install.
From memory, if you login to the MSDN subscriber site, you can still get access to your old keys (though I could be wrong about that) From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Glen Harvy Sent: Monday, 15 August 2016 11:46 AM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Subject: Expired MSDN Subscription - Transfer of VS to a new machine Hi, I'm currently in a dispute with Microsoft in that I have been unable to "activate" my licence as they claim I have "exceeded" my activations. All I want to do is move my VS2013 installation from my old PC to a new PC. My MSDN subscription expired some time ago however I'm supposed to have a perpetual licence. At least that's how I understood it. They are also adamant that I need a Product Key. Product Keys have never been needed/available for VS2013 and above when acquired via a MSDN subscription. Has any one else ever run into this brick wall? Glen.
