I bought Visual Studio 2010 Professional from a third party suppli开发者_JS百科er. I input the key and it all seems to work but when starting up the program it says that it is licensed to 'Microsoft' rather than to me.

How can I check whether the license key I was given upon purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Professional is valid?

Are you using a 64-bit version of Windows? There is a known issue with license information on such systems.

To resolve this issue we have to follow the steps below. This is a two step process. First the registry needs to modified, this will show the data in Help About dialog box. >Then we have to follow the next set of process to register the values to appear in the splash screen.

IMPORTANT Note: Please ensure you have taken a backup of the registry before making any changes.

Steps for Help About dialog:

On a x86 bit (32 bit OS) computer follow the below path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

On a x64 bit (64 bit OS) computer follow the below path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Registration\UserName HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization

Changing the UserName will change the first line in the help about dialog. Changing the RegisteredOrganization will change the second line in the help about dialog.

Steps to fix the splash screen:

On a x86 bit(32 bit OS) computer follow the below path: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup

On a x64 bit (64 bit OS) computer follow the below path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup

Launch Visual Studio 2010 to check if both the issues are resolved or not. Also create a new project to check that the new information is auto populated.
