    Hi @Kayitha Hanmanthu ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Does VS prompt any error message? According to this document: Use command-line parameters to install Visual Studio:

    --productKey

    During an install command, this parameter defines the product key to use for an installed product. It’s composed of 25 alphanumeric characters in the format xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

    So, did you use 25 alphanumeric characters to sign in VS? And use the correct format that the description shows?

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu
