Can I downgrade from Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to VS 2013 professional

Hi have a few licences of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate  and to keep it in line with our other users who have VS 2010 Pro
Am I ok to downgrade the licence from 2013 ultimate to 2010 pro.
The software hasnt been installed on any PC as yet, its just a case of if licensing allows us to downgrade version and edition

@Rakesh Borhara,
By the way, the two products are different. If you only bought the key for your Visual Studio 2013, I don't think you can use the same key in Visual Studio 2010.
Anyway, you can consult the license specialists to ask whether there is a account type for you so that you can use both the two products.
Best regards,
Barry

  • Cannot install Selenium Components for Cross Browser Testing extension from Visual Studio 2013

    Hello,
    I am having some issues with installing Selenium Components for Cross Browser testing.  I keep getting this error everytime. Yes, Visual Studio 2013 has been registered with a product key. However, I cannot seem to bypass this error. I tried to install
    from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/11cfc881-f8c9-4f96-b303-a2780156628d and from Tools->Extensions and Updates from Visual Studio 2013. It just does not work. I have a copy of Visual Studio 2013.  Yes, I already have Visual Studio
    2012 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate installed on my machine. What am I missing?

    Hi Antwan,
    Please uninstall the VS, then reinstall it.
    On the other hand, this issue is in the extension, I suggest that you should post it in
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing site for efficient response. (Q AND A)
    Thanks

  • Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2013 Professional

    I installed the trial for Visual Studio 2013 Professional.  Now when i try to remove it I can't.  When I click on VS2013 in Programs and Features and select "Change" I get an error that says "Microsoft Visual Studio Professional
    2013 with Update 4 has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and a Debug and Close Program button.  I have re-installed the
    program and it still does the same thing.  I can run VS2013 and I don't get any error when I open it.
    Is there any other way of uninstalling the program?
    Thanks!
    Patti Neavin

    Hello Patti Neavin,
    Have you tried to download a standalone installer and run it to uninstall? The installer may leave something in your OS so that it can use it to uninstall your setup. I think that package may corrupt. So if you tried to use a standalone installer which is
    alright, you may fix this problem.
    You may also try a tool from here
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?wa=wsignin1.0
    The tool said it is applied for Visual Studio 2010, however I got threads that some customer can also fix related issues by using this tool.

  • "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional Stopped Working" When I'm Trying To Install

    So for a college class we were given a link to a visual studio exe file.  Visual Studio 2013 Professional Update 2.
    When I try to run the exe file it just gives a black rectangle for a few seconds with the visual studio logo on it then stops and gives the message I showed in the thread title. and it also says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    I have the 4.5.2 update.
    Can't figure out why I can't install it.
    Heres a link to the vslog:
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E43E7310F1682778%21113
    Hopefully someone can solve this.

    According these errors, It seems the issue was due to you are using a web installer and your installation source may be corrupted.
    You can download the latest Visual Studio Professional 2013 package now:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44916
    I recommend you can install the VS by ISO installer.
    •Choose this download link, and then choose the Save button.
    •After downloading the ISO file, you should use the
    File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to calculate and verify that the SHA-1 value for this file matches the value listed on the
    Visual Studio 2013 ISO Files SHA-1 Values page.
    And after down load you should follow up these
    Installation Tips in the link to install your VS.

  • Can I use ReportViewer 2010 from Visual Studio 2013

    Hi
    I wish to use the 2010 version of the ReportViewer control on a Windows form. This is from within Visual Studio 2013. How would I do this?
    Thanks

    Good idea. It did allow me add version 2010 to the Toolbox. You can see it as the second ReportViewer in the screenshot below.
    But I can't drag it onto a form. It just appears down the end. Any idea why I can't drag it onto the form?

  • Can't update SQL 2014 DB during web publish from Visual Studio 2013

    According to Visual Studio 2013 I have "SQL Server Data Tool 12.0.40706.0" installed, which should allow me to update a SQL 2014 database but when I try to publish my web application I get the error: "Web deployment task failed. (Could not

    database, run the update command, and then change my web.config back everytime I try to update my database. What do I have to do to getthis working? I had no problems when I was on an Azure DB.

    Actually problem seems to be related when web publish to remote server. I tried local web publish to sql2014 db and it works.
    For remote server web publish works to sql 2012 express db but when try with sql 2014 express db on same server get bellow error.
    Error message "The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql120DatabaseSchemaProvider
    is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service."
    Any ideea what may be causing it? I have installed the sql server 2014 express with advanced services x86, exact same version as on my local machine, and also restarted server after install. Need install/configure anything else on server like SSDT 2014 to
    make this work?

  • Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

    I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer",  it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
    Here the log:
    9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
    9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
    All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
    What can I do to get it working?

    I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
    move to the new diagnostics version.
    Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
    11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
    11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
    11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
    With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
    Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
    but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
    What I found so far:
    I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
    showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
    Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
    Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
    I tried:
    PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
    VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
    Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.

    The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
    by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?
    Best regards,

  • "Replace" vs. "Replace and find next" in Visual Studio 2013 Professional

    Hello,
    Sometimes, when doing a large/risky replacement, I would like to find a hit, do a single replacement, inspect the replacement, then find the next hit, do a single replacement, inspect the replacement, and so on, before finally
    doing ‘Replace All’. Visual Studio seems to find the next hit immediately after executing the current replacement. Is there a way to change this default behaviour? It would be a really nice feature.
    I have looked in Options > Environment > Find and Replace, but the options listed are not relevant to my requirement.
    Many thanks.
    Keith
    R K Howard

    Nope.  You can't do exactly that.
    There are alternative approaches though.
    ONE
    If you use the Replace In Files feature (Ctrl+Shift+H) you can select the scope of your find to be Current Document (or whatever is appropriate for you) and make use of the Result options to List results in a find results window.  Do
    a Replace All, and then you can curate your results individually by navigating through them in the find results window.  If you check "Keep modified files open after Replace All" then an undo operation on any modified file will restore
    the effects of the replace all, should you need to back out of your changes.
    The difference between this approach and your approach is that with my suggestion, all the replacements are made ahead of time, and it keeps a list of all such places that need to be reviewed.
    This is my preferred approach.
    TWO
    If you use the Find All feature it places a reference to each location in the Find Results window. (Find all is chosen by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the Find Next button in the Find window -- no keyboard shortcut for this that I
    know of.)  After each replacement you can click on the line you replaced and navigate back to it. If you're only going to do a few, this is a reasonable thing to do.
    THREE
    I don't usually find it too difficult to pre-visualize what the replacement will be.  I am curating the results before I do each replacement.  It selects the text for you so you can see
    where the replacement will go.  I realize that it doesn't show you what the replacement will be for something like a backreference, but it's not usually too difficult to figure out, is it?
    This might be the "suck it up" approach.
    FOUR
    Write an add-in.  It is possible, (although quite a bit of work), to augment Visual Studio in this way using a
    VSPackage.

  • Can't publish to Azure Cloud Service from Visual Studio 2013

    I have a VS project that I upgraded from VS 2012 to VS 2013. I can run it locally, and had no issues publishing to Azure when I was using VS 2012. When I attempt to publish the upgraded app to an Azure Cloud Service that already exists, I am getting this
    error.  Note that I have checked the Service Config files and did a search on the entire solution and can not find any reference to "LocalStorage1" anywhere in the Project or Solution. I have another VS 20113 Project that publishes just fine
    to Azure Cloud Service. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    PUBLISH ERROR:
    Windows Azure could not find the resource LocalStorage1 in the service package. To upgrade the deployment, you must add the resource. Otherwise, perform a new deployment.

    That's actually what I meant in my first post. When publishing to a new service, it is fine, because the deployment does not have to compare what is already there (it is a new service, so nothing is there) and what is in your package. But while upgrading
    a service, bunch of settings have to match between an existing service and the package you are trying to upload. So the error you got wasn't about you having something extra in your package, but having something extra in your existing service and missing in
    the package you were uploading. Hope that helps.
    Anyway, please move this question to cloud services forums (this one is for web sites only), as there are experts in that area and they might be able to help you better.
    Thanks,
    Petr

  • Deployment Error from Visual Studio 2013

    I have been publishing my Azure web role and worker roles once or twice per week for the last year. 3 days ago I began getting this when publishing from VS:
    8:44:19 AM - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
    8:44:21 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
    8:45:13 AM - The server encountered an internal error. Please retry the request.
    Always the same three lines.  I have tried 20x over the last 3 days.  The only posts I can find that sound related deal with intermittent network issues.  Since this has been going on for 3 days and I see no service issues listed on
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/, I do not think my problem is related to a network issue.
    I am able to successfully package from VS, then publish via the Azure web portal.
    Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot problems publishing?  Thanks.

    Sowmya,
    I opened a support ticket but was told since it did not have to due with billing that they cannot help since I have not paid for technical support.  Is there any way I can troubleshoot the problem that I am having?  I generally solve things myself,
    but since I am not getting any indication of what the problem is, I do not know where to look. Again I can manually package the solution, upload to BLOB storage, and update my cloud services through the control panel.  So it is a fine workaround for now,
    but it takes much longer than simply publishing from VS2013 which is what I had always done in the past.  But now I get this "an internal error has occurred".  It is hard to believe someone coded the system to even give such a useless message.
    Any other options?
    Thanks,
    Denis

  • Upgrade from Visual Studio 2013 to Vs 2015 ends with unrelsoved external error

    Hello,
    I've installed VS 2015 CTP 6.
    We used to work with with VS 2013.
    When i try to compile our projects i get unresolved error for memset.
    It is related to the  change of the run time libs.
    When i add vcruntime.lib as additional lib the error resolved.
    it means that  linker did no search at vcruntime.lib (probably look only at msvcrt.lib)
    When i create a new project with VS2015 it worked(it was looking for vcruntime.lib).
    I can add thos libs to all projects, but i thought(hoped :) ) there is a better way to do it.
    thanks,
    Lior

    Hello liorb,
    It seems your issue is related to C++ 2015 so I moved it here. If your VS2015 and VS2013 are both on the same machine I recommend you follow pvdg42's advice to report this issue to connect and share the link back to here. Maybe it is a problem with
    this beta version.

  • Automatic Code generation from UML for C++ in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

    Hi all, 
    I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to design UML diagrams and want to use the class diagram to generate C++ code,
    however I found that there seems only support C# generation.
    Is there any way to do the code generation (even round-trip engineering with C++/UML model) from Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate?
    There is a way to do C++ code generation by customize the text template file right? but it is time consuming and we don't have much time to do it.:( 
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Grib,
    >>is there anyway to integrate an STE code generator to Visual Studio 2013. I know there is EF5.x STE Generator but only for VS 2012.
    Yes, you can.
    Since the STEs are T4 template and you can just take template and code any changes or improvements you require yourselves! As you mentions, there is a EF5.x STE generator, you could download it and edit it. You could check this article:
    Upgrading to EF6, we could see that from EF5 to EF6, the team moves classes to a new namespace, so we need to modify the T4 template to generate the new namespace.

    Hi Suvy,
    From your description, could you please tell me how you renew your developer license for Windows 8.1 from Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition?
    Generally, we can renew the developer license by going to PROJECT->Store->Acquire Development License… like the following screen shot.
    In addition, as you said that you get the error in the 'contacting license server' stage for too long and eventually doesn't proceed further.
    You mean that you did not get the developer license window which requires input the Microsoft account like the following screen shot, am I right?
    If yes, as you said that the Avast antivirus installed and running. I suggest you can try to disable or un-install it check if it can work.
    To make sure that it is not your VS IDE issue, please reset your VS settings, and then run it as the admin, test it again.
    You can also try to run your VS in safe mode to make sure that it is not the add-ins or the extension tools’ issue.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
    In addition, I got different ways to get a developer license, maybe you could check it here:

    Hi,
    We are researching your issue. Please clarify my question with detailed information:
    1. Do you get the error in your first post when you click ‘Download report’ after you run load test from
    Visual Studio 2013 on
    team foundation service?
    2 You said that ‘I am trying to import the test results into a Visual Studio 2012 (Update 3) on-prem instance’, what and where is
    your load test result repository? A SQL Server database or the default database:LoadTest2010 in SQL Express on the same machine with Visual Studio 2013?
    3 Whether you specify the load test result repository under Load Test->Manage Test Controller?
    4. What error do you get? Please provide us more detailed information about the error message or share us with a screenshot.
    5 Whether you can run the load test successfully locally and get the load test result with the same load test result database?
    6 You said that your co-worker can work fine. Please check whether your account has enough permissions for load test result database and download load test result from TFS to load test result database based on the account
    permission of your co-work.
