I had the same problem. But was able to solve it with the following steps:

  1. Go to VisualStudio -> Account
  2. Log in with an Account which has the vs Professional/Enterprise license
  3. Restart Visual Studio

After these Actions the window title states "Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 for Mac"

It is possible that Visual Studio will not let you log in because it thinks you are not online. If you are on Wi-Fi try connecting with a wired connection.
