For VS 2013 Community, it is no longer possible to update the license to run WinRT apps. I was able to successfully update the developer license for VS 2013 a few days ago, but I can no longer run WinRT apps. I get error 0x80245004 when VS tries to retrieve the license from the server.
Setting the following registry keys did not help:
[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

Do you have any anti-virus software or proxy settings? If so, please temporarily disable it.
If possible, please share us a screenshot of this error message.

2024-03-27T16:14:57.2466667+00:00 When I start the application in VS 2013 by pressing Ctrl + F5, I get the developer license renewal dialog. I press "I agree" (translated from German), then I confirm the UAC dialog and VS tries to renew the license. The result is a window with the text 'Your developer license for Windows 8.1 could not be purchased. Error 0x80245004' (translated from German). It only affects WinRT apps, not WPF apps or others.
I disabled Windows Defender, but I get the same result. There are no proxy settings.
The developer license for VS 2013 itself on Windows 8.1 I could successfully renew some days ago.
I want to use my WinRT apps only on my PC.

2024-04-01T03:30:35.5766667+00:00 Hello, please check for your Windows updates and apply all pending patches.
Besides, please run Command Prompt as administrator and run the following command to get the license again:
netsh winhttp reset proxy
