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.
Well I found two possible solutions for Visual Studio 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
1. Setting new product key with StorePID.exe
(MS Docs).
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE
)cmd
as adminStorePID.exe <your_new_product_key> <MPC>
Possible Microsoft Product Codes (MPC) are:
06177
Visual Studio Professional 201306191
Visual Studio Premium 201306181
Visual Studio Ultimate 201307062
Visual Studio Professional 201507060
Visual Studio Enterprise 201508860
Visual Studio Enterprise 201708862
Visual Studio Professional 201708866
Visual Studio Test Professional 201709260
Visual Studio Enterprise 201909262
Visual Studio Professional 20192. Removing product key first and set new one. (VS 2015/2017/2019)

and delete itHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\5C505A59-E312-4B89-9508-E162F8150517
and delete itHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\41717607-F34E-432C-A138-A3CFD7E25CDA
and delete itIt's not the best way to solve it, but faster than deinstall and install the complete IDE.
