Provided that you comply with all the License Terms for a particular Express release, the 2010 Express SKUS can be used to create commercial software. Before you register the express SKU you are effectively running a trial version of the Express product, which expires after 30 days. There is no limit on creating commercial software during the trial period. Once you register the product, the ‘Evaluation’ text changes to show it is a licensed copy.
May 18, 2006 - Download.com cannot completely ensure the security of the. Microsoft Visual Studio Express offers powerful development tools for all skill. Aug 30, 2015 Visual Studio 2010 Express Download I have downloaded vs web developer 2010. Now I am trying to downdload vs 2010 express, but it will not do it. I would like to get vs 2010 express for windows programming, not for web development. The issue you posted is related to Visual Studio and would be better suited in the visual Studio.
Thanks for your time, Adrian Collier Program Manager – Visual Studio Express. I have the same question. All you do is go to Help, and you will see 'Register Product' in the menu's options, you click on it, and then you will see a Textbox that you input the registration key.
Any iteration of Visual Studios will have you open IE (I think this is the only browser that will do it correctly), and you would have to either sign in or go to the profile page that you use with MSDN, after that, you will be able to get the registration key. Here's a word of advise, when you copy and then paste the key, you will want to delete the empty space at the end of the key in the textbox to make the 'Register Now' button clickable. There were some people who were saying that they couldn't get that button to work.
I had the same issue for about 1 minute. I've just downloaded and installed my Visual C 2008 Express. I'm asked to register so I can use it, by finding the Help Menu as step 1 to registering. Where's the Help Menu? The installation put an entry in the START all programs as 'Microsoft Visual C 2008 Express Edition' and that has two sub-entries, 'Visual Studio Tools' and 'Microsoft Visual C 2008 Express Edition'. This latter leads to an orange and brown screen showing 'Microsoft Visual C 2008 Express Edition' over which is a screen which is headed as 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2008' and having a field for entering a registration key.
An underlined, blue text 'Register Now' pointer shows a screen which spells out the 5 steps to registration, the first being to hit on the HELP tab. But nowhere is there a HELP tab. The earlier, 'Visual Studio Tools' entry simply gives a DOS-like panel headed as Visual Studio Command Prompt.
But nowhere is there a HELP tab. So, how do I register this thing??
Max 2010 May 16, Sunday. I called Microsoft on the topic of the product/registration key. He said the product is not free but will have to be paid for after the 'trial period' of 30 days is up.
When I said the site said it's.free', he said, 'Yes, for the trial period.' I thought it was.free., period. And I told him it would be used for 'personal use', btw. Good thing I found out this is fraudulent advertising or I'd be sitting here with saved projects in it and after 30 days, wonder why the program stopped working and asks me to buy it.

I am sure you are mistaking. When you talked to support did you specify 'Express'? Also, are you positive you downloaded the 'Express' version from here Now, a trial version of 'Professional' and other full versions are available and if I remember right when you are installing Express, it gives you the option to install a trial of Professional. With so many versions I can see how it could be confusing and it could be easy to confuse support as well, if your wording isn't just right when you talk to them.
