Hi @vasilis milingos ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

You need to enable/add TLS 1.0 or configure .NET Framework to support strong cryptography to use TLS 1.2 from registry.

Please check this thread: Visual Studio 2013 Pro - The online service is not available.

For configuring to support strong cryptography > press Windows key + R > type regedit > navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319 > add a new registry entry named SchUseStrongCrypto > set its type to DWord > set its value = 1.(or creating a new registry entry by using PS command)

For enabling TLS 1.0 > press Windows key + R > type regedit > navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols > TLS 1.0 > Client > Enabled DWord value 1.

Have a great day.

Best Regards,
Tianyu

This did not work for me, maybe Win7-Ultimate is blocked now?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. I set

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]

"AspNetEnforceViewStateMac"=dword:00000001

"SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

"SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.0\Client]

"Enabled"=dword:00000001

I rebooted and try to open a WinRT project in VS 2013 Community, then tried to reactivate the developer license and I get error 0x80245004.
