Visual Studio subscriptions have been around for a while now, most new licenses ought to be through subs. If that’s what you have: you’re fine. Otherwise if it’s a perpetual license to VS 2022 then yes you need to either switch to a subscription or buy a new perpetual license. Answer from taspeotis on reddit.com

r/csharp on Reddit: Various Product Key in MS Visual Studio Subscription
September 30, 2020 -

Hi All,

from my employeer I have Visual Studio Subscription and when I login to my.visualstudio.com I can obtain all kind of keys... It ranges from Windows 95 upto Visio 2019 and so on.

I would like to understand the purpose and limitations of these keys:

- can I use these keys for test-setups only?

- can I use these keys for private stuff and education?

- what if my employeer cancels the subscriptions or me, are all the installations with those keys all of a suddenly ilegal?

Thanks for you support

Michael
