When I try to create a windows store program in Visual Studio 2012, I was prompt to install the developer license, but VS2012 failed to get the license all the time, please see the picture below. enter image description here

I closed this dialog and try it againd from Project-Store-Acquire Developer License, but still get the same error. I google this for a while and found a page on MSDN said there is a command mode, I try that, get the same error, see below picture. enter image description here

I upgrade my Windows 8 from Windows 7 several days ago, and it was actived. enter image description here

I didn't use any proxy for my internet connection, I can not build my windows store prgram without the license. any work around for this?

Run Command Prompt as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Type netsh winhttp reset proxy at the command prompt, and press Enter. Try to get licence again.
