VS 2013 Developer License problem

Question

I have just installed VS 2013 on Windows 8.1 pc.

I can't get a developer license.
VS prompt me the message an I Agree the term but when I try to compile I get this error

Error    1    Error : DEP0730 : Registration of the application failed because no Developer License is installed on the target machine. Impossibile distribuire il pacchetto a2b25a58-bb49-4f10-8b26-76330e1368e0_1.0.0.0_x64__3mr6v7c4tmvny. Non è possibile applicare una licenza valida o criteri di trasferimento tramite sideload. Potrebbe essere necessaria una licenza per sviluppatori (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=233074) o una configurazione di trasferimento tramite sideload Enterprise(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=231020). (0x80073cff)    AppTest1

I try with powershell command Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration but it doesn't work

If I try with VS 2012 the problem is the same.

Hi Damiano,

Did you upgrade your PC from win8? If yes, take a look at this post, the issue might be with the upgrade: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/728710/failed-to-get-developer-license-for-visual-studio-11-beta-both-express-and-ultimate-sku-on-machines-upgraded-from-windows-7#

Or I think it might be the issue with network, you did not get the developer license (due to some network issue, but VS thought you got and let you pass) and of course you cannot run your app. For this one, you could disable your firewall or proxy or other internet setting and click project->store->Acquire developer license on VS 2013 to renew your account.

Best Regards,

Hi Jamles,
I think you are right regarding the issue with network.

With Win8.1 update I have a lot of problem in my pc, I can't disable firewall or change Date/Time for example.

I decided to format and reinstall Windows, after that I think I reinstall VS2012 and wait for VS2013.

VS2013 has a lot of beautiful function but I can develop for 8.1 with VS2012 if the problem is VS2013
