Invalid license data. Reinstall is required. For more information about how to obtain Visual Studio 2010 SP1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 983509 Description of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. Aaron Marten on the Visual Studio Extensibility team has a post describing how to fix this issue. This should only happen if you upgrade a “higher” Beta edition to a “lower” RC edition, like from VS11 Ultimate Beta to VS2012 Professional RC.

So I have recently instealled Visual Shell Express (Isolated) 2010 in Windows 7.The problem is, every time I open it, it says, Invalid License Data. Reinstall Required.I saw this:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2673275/how-do-i-fix-an-invalid-license-data-reinstall-is-required-error-in-visual-cIt looks like an answer to my question, but the subinacl command line tool doesn't work on Windows 7.
Are there any other ways to replicate the fix on windows 7 without the command line tool?
Visual Studio 2010 Shell Invalid License Data. Reinstall Is Required Hatası
This site uses cookies for analytics, personalized content and ads. By continuing to browse this site, you agree to this use. Instead Atmel Studio 6 is based on Microsoft Visual Studio Shell. Unfortunately it seems installing Atmel Studio 6 corrupts installs that are outside of its own purview. So if you are having the Invalid License Data error, check and make sure that no custom Microsoft Visual Studio Shells have been installed by any other program.
Thanks!

I experienced this error when attempting to install and run the free Visual Studio 2010 Shell alongside a licensed copy of Visual Studio 2013 Professional.
As described in the thread you mentioned, the issue appears to involve a conflict with how the Visual Studio installers manage updates to the Windows Registry key settings associated with software licensing.
In my case, simply uninstalling and re-installing the Visual Studio 2010 Shell did not resolve my issue. However, I was able to resolve my issue without making any manual changes to the Windows Registry by installing SQL Server Data Tools 2010, which is also free and includes the Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
