Hi,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

You can use visual studio without signing in, but it will be limited to the trial period of 30 days. 

To continue using Visual Studio you can unlock the IDE by entering a product key which doesn't need to sign in:

1.Select File > Account Settings to open the Account Settings dialog and click on the “License with a Product Key” link.

2.Enter the product key in the space provided.
