Though I have valid visual studio subscription, I am getting the below error:

I tried to reenter the credentials. After entering the credential, it is not pointing to the right page.

Please suggest.

Answer 1

As I have a valid visual studio subscription, I followed the following steps and validated myself for VS 2017:

1. Log in to the link: https://my.visualstudio.com/ProductKeys with visual studio subscription credentials.
2. Search for Visual Studio Professional 2017, Claim the license and copy it
3. Click on "Unlock with a Product Key" and apply the license.

That's it. License validation successful. I am using the VS 2017.

Answer 2

Run Visual Studio 2017

1. Before the sign in dialogue comes up quickly select Tools -> Options
2. Go to Environment -> Accounts
3. Select "Enable device code flow when adding or re-authenticating an account"
4. Click OK
5. Login through a browser

Visual studio will give you a link to follow and a code to authenticate. When you follow the link, you simply enter the code and everything is fixed.

You may have to close and re-open Visual Studio.
