Do I need a license to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019? I need this for one of the python libraries that I need for a project. My corporate IT team says they don't have license for Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019

    For those that are not Visual Studio users but need to install the runtime -

    When you execute the downloadable redistributables the first thing it will do is present a EULA that provides the licensing agreement to which you must agree in order to complete the installation.

    So the relevant license agreement is provided to you as part of the installation process.
    For example,

    Visual C++ redistributable libraries are free to download from Microsoft website. No special license is needed.
    If your team refuses to install the redistributable, and you are a little familiar with Visual C++ development process, you can try to re-build the C++ libraries with static linking (of course, if the source is available)
