Hi I am Using Visual Studio Enterprise 2019. The problem is that i am on a pc that has two Operating System Partitions. Windows Server 2019 Datacenter and Windows 10. I don't want Visual Studio to hog all my space in my C drive so I installed visual studio 2019 in Windows 10 partition, but I use Visual Studio whilst in Windows Server 2019 while the program itself is on the windows 10 partition. Get It? The Problem is that Visual Studio says my "product key is expired" when i run it on Windows Server 2019, But when i run it on the windows 10 partition where visual studio was installed is says "Product Key Applied"

I use Visual Studio for C/C++ and DirectX

    so I installed visual studio 2019 in Windows 10 partition, but I use Visual Studio whilst in Windows Server 2019 while the program itself is on the windows 10 partition. Get It?

    Did you run the VS install routine also from Server 2019 instance? Could be a problem if you didn't. As to licensing you can read on here.
