There is and there isn t an expiration date  If you register Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition by successfully signing into Visual Studio then the product is fully unlocked with no set expiry date  If you don t sign in  or haven t entered a purchased licence key   you only have 30 day evaluation license    You can check whether your copy of Visual Studio has is registered or not by selecting Help -  About Microsoft Studio and clicking on the  License Status  link in the upper right of the About dialog  If your product isn t registered you ll see something like this

I am running VSCommunity 2015 in Win8 1 virtual machine installed inside a Parallels 11 virtual machine installed on my Mac OSX El Capitan  To my surprise and delight it installed and ran fine  I used it for 2 weeks without signing into my Microsoft account  I tried to login 6 weeks later and got the 30 day trial screen shown above     However for me I was able to simply click on the link above shown as  Check for an updated license  and was prompted in to log in to my Microsoft account  I did so and it granted me a license successfully and was seamless  Now under License Status it displays as  This product is licensed to      I guess I got lucky as I m guessing this is how it is supposed to work    sidebar   Over the decades I ve disliked most MS products but have been out of the VS IDE development tools game for awhile  and I have to say using VSComm15 has been flawless  Using it to learn C  and the IDE itself for a new contract job and it worked perfectly and has great features
