Hi,

I have a weirdest issue here: after 1.5 years of using VS Enterprise 2017, I suddenly saw a popup saying my evaluation period has ended. The message looks as follows:

License: Trial extension (for evaluation purposes only)
This product is licensed to:
<my_work_email> through Profile
Your evaluation period has ended.
Your extended trial has expired. License with an online account or a product key.

Clicking on the "Check for an updated license" link, didn't solve it:

We could not unlock your Visual Studio with the account available.
Please ensure that you have added an account with a valid subscription and the account is authenticated.

Our accounts are managed via Azure in a centralised manner, and everyone in the company seems not to have any issues, it's just my machine that keeps getting this. Talking to our admin, he can't see anything abnormal in the way my account is set up and if anything would be wrong, I'd assume it wouldn't wait for so long to blow up...

I have tried removing %localappdata%\.IdentityService\SessionTokens.json as suggested on other threads, but that had no effect, and the issue is still there.

Can I get any advise on this please? as this prevents me from doing anything.

Regards
