When is the expiration date of Visual Studio 2010 Beta?

+10  A: 

Courtesy of MSDN Forums & the EULA:

"3. TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE. The software will stop running 240 days after you install it or on April 15, 2010, whichever comes first. You will not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running."

You should also be able to see the date via the menu "Help" -> "About".

In help about my says: 312 days remaining. My current date is: 7 June 2009 So mine should expire on: 15 April 2010

This agrees with what mnudeep says.

I have "-1 days remaining" (exactly like this, with minus!) in my Help-About! What can it mean???

It means that you have entered a rip in the space-time continuum. Also that you should ask a question rather than posting an answer.

That can mean only one thing. Are you Chuck Norris?

It means it expired yesterday.. Or perhaps Microsoft likes you enough it will never expire, and you will be using Beta software through the ages to develop your production applications.
