You can evaluate the professional, Premium and Ultimate editions of Visual Studio for 30 days, from when you install the product. Signature in Visual Studio adds 60-day evaluation period, for a total of 90 days. If you do not save a Visual Studio trial edition in 30 days, the trial period expires 30 days after installation.

For example, if you download and use Visual Studio Premium for 10 days and then save it, you can use it for an additional period of 80 days. To continue using the product after 90 days, you must provide a valid product key. For more information about how to locate or obtain a product key, see how: locate the product key Visual Studio and How to buy Visual Studio.
