I have been using VS Express 2012 for almost a month and now it states that I must enter a product key to continue using it. To get that product key I am asked to register. Only after creating a Microsoft account (great, another account to keep track of) does it inform me that I must enter details about my company, its address, its employees, and my role in it. Is there a way for individuals or hobbyists to use Express or is it intended for businesses only? Is there any way to get a product key without entering fake business information (or is fake information the standard response to frustrating forms. asked Jan 14 '13 at 20:28. There isn t a question that relates to code or anything. I was just trying to program and ran into this VS problem and thought that on a site full of programmers somebody else might have encountered this problem. I didn t find anything too helpful on google or microsoft sites. Is this not a SO appropriate question? user1860611 Jan 14 '13 at 20:48.
