- dogma1138 10y agoyou just skip it, it will show a yellow warning sign and you won't have access to the MSDN info and a few other things which is pretty much like how the full version of VisualStudio works offline...

- rasz_pl 10y agoyes, you bought this "free version" with your email/identity. Its right there on your pictu... oh, why did you black out your credentials? Do you consider them somehow precious all of a sudden?
- dogma1138 10y agoDo you give up a phone number to your employer, insurance provider, credit card company? wanna share it? Also you do realize that you can set up a disposable email address in 10 seconds right? I didn't use one because I don't consider this instance to be a violation of my privacy, privacy isn't about keeping information secret, privacy is about you having the agency to decide who you share it with.
- justinclift 10y agoIn the 2013 edition, there is no "skip it". Any action other than signing in/registering just closes MSVC. If there's some way around that, please I'm all ears. :)
- dogma1138 10y agoEh yes there is, you just register it once and you sign out, you do not have to be signed in. Here it is http://imgur.com/u8BiQZ9 http://imgur.com/u8BiQZ9 no trial no nothing, I don't know what you are really complaining about....
- justinclift 10y agoAhhh. "Just register it once". I think we're talking about different things.
- dogma1138 10y agoI figure as much, for some reason you have issues registering software, I'm guessing you haven't been using mobile phones and 99% of the services out there. RMS would be proud but this isn't exactly a reason to complain.
- type0 10y agoSo, to register it you would need to have internet access? In that case it is unusable for offline work. Even if it works after it has been registered, what the hell would you do when you need to reinstall your system?
- dogma1138 10y agoGet internet access? There isn't an offline activation for the full version either you might be able to activate it via KMS. If you reinstall your system you'll need internet access these days, even if it is only to activate windows. If you restore it from an image you should be probably ok. But sorry I don't find the excuse of not having internet viable these days.
