I installed the supposedly free VS Community 2017 on my PC and 30 days later I get this message from VS saying that my license has expired.
License? Expired? I thought the community edition was "free forever" therefore sporting the "community" tag. What's going on? I tried signing in with my outlook.com account but it says "something went wrong" and comes back to the same screen.
How do I get a fully free version of VS 2017 so I can work on my FOSS projects?
