Open the Download & Activation Guide tab for step-by-step setup, the Product Specs tab for full technical details, and the FAQs tab for answers to the questions buyers ask most.
Your Visual Studio 2026 Professional product key arrives by email within seconds, with the official Microsoft download link and the steps below. Install time depends on the workloads you choose, but the key itself applies in under a minute.
Download the installer only from the official visualstudio.microsoft.com link in your delivery email. Avoid third-party bundles — they are the usual reason a key is rejected and can be unsafe.
Run the Visual Studio Installer and tick only the workloads you use (for example .NET, C++, Azure or web). You can add or remove workloads any time later without affecting your licence.
Open Visual Studio, go to Help → Register Product, choose Unlock with a Product Key, and paste the key from your email. The Professional licence is applied immediately and the trial countdown disappears.
Make sure you installed the matching edition (Professional), sign in with a Microsoft account if prompted, and paste the key without extra spaces. If you still see the trial banner, reply to your delivery email and we will confirm the key and help you register.
How many machines can I use it on?
This licence covers 5 devices, activated for the lifetime of the product.
Do updates keep working?
Yes. Minor updates within the version install normally and stay licensed.
Is it genuine?

Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 Professional is a standalone licence for a single Microsoft application, bought once and activated permanently on one PC. Buying the individual application rather than a full Office suite is the cheapest legitimate way to get exactly the tool you need: no subscription, no bundled apps you will never open, and no recurring cost. Microsoft supports this release with security updates until the standard Microsoft lifecycle for this release.
Visual Studio 2026 Professional is the full integrated development environment for building applications on Windows, the web, the cloud and mobile. This licence covers five machines, which suits a small development team or a developer working across several workstations, and it is a perpetual licence rather than a subscription.
Visual Studio Professional is the complete IDE: IntelliSense code completion, a debugger that handles multi-threaded and remote scenarios properly, integrated Git and source control, refactoring tools, unit testing with live results, and a profiler for finding what is actually slow rather than what you assume is. It covers C#, VB.NET, F#, C++, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript in one environment.
Project types span the Microsoft development surface: ASP.NET Core web applications and APIs, desktop applications in WPF, WinForms and WinUI, cross-platform mobile with .NET MAUI, Azure cloud services with integrated deployment, containerised applications with Docker support, and native C++ for Windows and cross-platform targets. CodeLens, live share and the diagnostic tools are all included at the Professional level.
As a standalone licence this installs independently of any Office suite you may already have, and it coexists with other Microsoft applications on the same machine. It runs entirely locally after activation, stores files wherever you choose and never requires an internet connection to open your work.
The economics of a standalone licence are worth spelling out, because most buyers arrive here after pricing a subscription. A perpetual Visual Studio licence is a single payment that covers the entire supported lifecycle of the release, typically five years. A subscription bills every twelve months for as long as you use the software, and stops working the moment you stop paying. Over five years the perpetual licence is dramatically cheaper, and at the end of it you still own a working installation rather than nothing at all.
The trade is that a perpetual licence never gains new features. It receives security and stability updates only, and the version you install today behaves identically in four years. For most professional users that is a benefit rather than a limitation: menus stay where they are, files stay compatible, and no update arrives overnight to change a workflow you have built a process around. If you specifically want continuous new features and cloud collaboration, a subscription is the honest recommendation. If you want a tool that works and keeps working, buy the licence once.
Visual Studio 2026 requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 and does not install on Windows 8.1 or earlier. A 1.6 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and roughly 4 GB of free disk space cover the minimum; 8 GB of RAM makes large files noticeably smoother. Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are covered by this licence. Choose 64-bit unless you depend on legacy 32-bit add-ins.
This is a genuine Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 Professional product key for 5 pcs (windows), delivered by email within seconds of payment. It is a one-time purchase with lifetime activation: there is no subscription, no renewal date and no expiry. Activation happens directly against Microsoft activation servers and creates a digital licence tied to your device, so a future reinstall of the same edition re-activates automatically. The key is brand new and never used, works in every country and every display language, and is covered by our 180-day money-back guarantee and free 24/7 expert support. Your delivery email also contains the official Microsoft download link, and the full walkthrough sits in the Download and Activation Guide tab.

Microsoft distributes the same software through several licensing channels, and knowing the difference is the most useful thing a buyer can learn. A Retail licence is tied to your Microsoft account rather than the hardware, so it can be moved to a replacement machine after being removed from the old one. An OEM licence binds permanently to the first motherboard it activates on and cannot travel with you, which is why it costs less. A Volume licence is issued to organisations under an agreement with Microsoft and is intended for use inside that organisation. All three are genuine Microsoft licences that activate on Microsoft servers. They differ in transfer rights, not in the software you receive. Every product page in our store states the licence type so you can choose deliberately rather than discovering the difference later.
The price difference comes from how the licence was sourced, not from what it is. Volume licensing economics, regional pricing and the legal secondary market for software licences, upheld by the Court of Justice of the European Union in UsedSoft v Oracle in 2012, mean the identical genuine licence that carries a three-figure retail price can be resold for a fraction of it. You download from Microsoft servers, activate on the Microsoft activation service and receive exactly the same software a full-price buyer receives. What you do not pay for is boxed packaging, retail shelf space and distributor margin.
The practical risk in this market is never legality for the buyer. It is seller quality. A key that arrives already used can only be fixed by the seller replacing it, which makes support the thing worth checking before you buy. We publish a support address answered 24 hours a day, replace any key that cannot be activated, and back every order with a 180-day money-back guarantee. More than 10,000 keys delivered at a 4.9 out of 5 customer rating is the record behind that promise.
Understanding activation removes most of the anxiety around buying a licence key online. When you enter a 25-character key, the software contacts the Microsoft activation service and exchanges the key for a licence token stored on the device. Microsoft records a hardware fingerprint, a hash built from components such as the motherboard and storage controller, and links the entitlement to it. That record is what people mean by a digital licence.
The practical consequence is that once activation succeeds, the licence lives on Microsoft servers as well as on your machine. Reinstall the same edition on the same hardware and it re-activates, often without you typing anything. Change a small component such as RAM or a graphics card and nothing happens. Replace the motherboard and the fingerprint changes enough that Microsoft treats it as a new device, which is when reactivation is needed, and that is a support ticket with us rather than a new purchase.
Activation is also not a licence check that runs constantly. After the initial handshake the software works offline indefinitely. There is no phone-home-or-stop-working behaviour in perpetual licences, which is precisely why they suit machines on isolated networks, in workshops, or behind restrictive corporate firewalls.
Each key activates one device. For several machines you order the quantity you need, and every key arrives in the same instant delivery email ready to assign. For imaging workflows, install without entering a key, capture your reference image, then apply each device key at deployment. On Windows the standard commands are slmgr /ipk followed by slmgr /ato, and both script cleanly across a fleet.
Whatever the scale, keep a record of which key went to which machine or asset tag. The day a drive fails and a licence needs recovering, that one spreadsheet is the difference between a two-minute fix and an afternoon of archaeology. Buying more than twenty seats? Contact our support team before ordering and we prepare the order and documentation for you. The same 180-day guarantee applies to every seat.
End of support is not a kill switch. When Microsoft stops issuing security updates for a product, the software carries on running exactly as it did the day before. Your files still open, your licence stays activated and nothing expires. What stops is the monthly stream of security patches, which matters most for anything that opens files or email from outside your own network.
The sensible way to read a support date is as a planning horizon rather than a deadline. On an internet-connected machine that handles email and downloaded documents, staying on a patched release is worth the modest cost of a new licence. On an isolated machine, a workshop PC, a lab instrument, a device that never touches the internet, running past end of support is a considered decision rather than a risk, and plenty of organisations make it deliberately.
Product key is the 25-character code, in five groups of five, that identifies your licence to Microsoft. Digital licence is the activation record Microsoft stores against your hardware after the first successful activation, which makes reinstalls self-activating. Installation ID is the long number displayed during telephone activation, exchanged for a Confirmation ID to activate offline. Confirmation ID is the code that completes telephone activation, available instantly through our free service instead of an automated phone line. Perpetual licence is a one-time purchase that never expires, as opposed to a subscription. LTSC means Long-Term Servicing Channel, a servicing model that receives security updates but no feature updates, designed for devices that must not change.
Orders are processed automatically and delivered by email within seconds, day or night, including weekends and holidays. Your delivery email contains the 25-character product key, the official Microsoft download link and step-by-step installation instructions. If the message does not appear within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder and search for GetDigiMarket. If it is still missing, our support team resends it immediately.
Support is free, unlimited and available 24/7 before and after purchase. Our specialists handle download questions, installation conflicts with older versions, activation errors and offline telephone activation. We do not consider a ticket resolved until your software reports as activated. Should a key prove impossible to activate and our team cannot resolve it, you receive a replacement or a full refund under the 180-day money-back guarantee, whichever you prefer.
Browse every standalone title in our Office application licences range, including Visio and Project. If you need the complete suite, compare Office 2024 Professional Plus and the rest of our Microsoft Office range, and complete the workstation with a Windows 11 Pro product key.
Five. You receive keys for five separate installations.
Worth repeating because it catches people out: Windows and Mac editions are licensed separately, and a Windows key will not activate on macOS. Office for Mac is redeemed by signing in with a Microsoft account on the Mac rather than typing the key into the app. If you need to cover both a PC and a Mac, you need the edition whose product page states both, or two separate licences.
No. This is a perpetual licence: a one-time purchase with permanent activation, unlike Visual Studio subscriptions which bill annually.
The Product Specs tab on this page carries the full detail for this exact edition, including its Microsoft support window and what is and is not bundled. If your situation is at all unusual — older hardware, an existing Office installation, a virtual machine, a specific compliance requirement — send us a message first. A short question now is cheaper than the wrong licence, and our support team answers seven days a week.
Community is free but restricted by organisation size and revenue. Professional carries no such restrictions and includes the full professional toolset, including CodeLens and advanced diagnostics.
The practical difference is in the management and deployment features rather than in day-to-day use — the everyday experience is the same. Where the editions genuinely diverge is in licensing terms and the advanced controls aimed at organisations. If you are buying for a single machine rather than a managed fleet, the simpler edition is usually the sensible choice, and the Product Specs tab lists exactly what this one includes.
C#, VB.NET, F#, C++, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, covering ASP.NET Core, WPF, WinForms, WinUI, .NET MAUI, Azure and Docker workloads.
That date is set by Microsoft and applies regardless of where the licence was bought. Until it passes, the software receives security updates through the normal Microsoft channels exactly as any other licensed copy does. After it passes, the software carries on working — it simply stops receiving patches, which is when it becomes sensible to move to a newer version rather than a licensing problem.
Within seconds of payment. Delivery is automatic by email, 24 hours a day including weekends, and includes your product key, the official Microsoft download link and installation instructions.
Delivery is automated rather than manual, so it does not depend on office hours — an order placed overnight or at a weekend arrives just as quickly as one placed on a Tuesday afternoon. The email contains your key, a direct link to the official Microsoft installer for this exact edition, and activation instructions written for this product. If it has not appeared within a few minutes, check the spam or promotions folder before contacting us, as automated messages carrying licence keys are occasionally filtered.
Yes. This is a genuine Microsoft licence key that activates against Microsoft’s own activation servers and returns a normal “Product is activated” status — not a generated key, not a shared key, and not a crack. You download the software from Microsoft’s own servers using the official installer link included in your delivery email, so the files never pass through us. The low price comes from how the licence is sourced through volume and secondary-market channels, not from what it is. If it ever fails to activate, you are covered for 180 days.
Lifetime. You pay once and the licence never expires — no renewals, no monthly fees, and no card kept on file. After first activation Microsoft stores a digital licence against the device, so the same edition re-activates automatically after a reinstall. The trade-off worth knowing: a perpetual licence keeps receiving security updates for its full Microsoft support lifecycle, but it does not gain the new features that the Microsoft 365 subscription adds over time. The version you buy is the version you keep.
Yes. This is a global licence key that activates in every country, and the software itself is fully multilingual — you choose your display language during installation regardless of where the licence was bought or where you are using it. If you activate in one region and later move continents, an online activation can occasionally be refused as a routine fraud check. That is not the key failing, and it is resolved in a few minutes through Microsoft’s automated phone activation, which our support team walks you through free of charge.
Yes. Buying a genuine, properly transferred software licence is legal. In the European Union this is settled law: the Court of Justice ruled in UsedSoft v Oracle (2012) that once a copy of software has been sold within the EU, the distribution right in that copy is exhausted and the licence can lawfully be resold. What matters is that the licence is genuine and properly transferred, which is exactly what separates a legitimate reseller from the grey market. We do not sell generated keys, keys from compromised accounts, or activation cracks.
Our support team is available 24/7 and works with you step by step until the software reports as activated, including offline telephone activation through our free Confirmation ID service. In practice almost every failure is one of three things: an edition mismatch (a Pro key entered on a Home installation), a leftover previous Office or Microsoft 365 install blocking the new one, or a genuinely faulty key. Send us your order number and the exact error code on screen — that usually identifies the cause in one reply. If a key cannot be activated you receive a replacement or a full refund under our 180-day guarantee.
Yes. Activation creates a digital entitlement on Microsoft’s servers, so reinstalling the same edition on the same device re-activates, often automatically and without you needing to re-enter the key. Keep your delivery email anyway — it holds both the key and the official download link, which saves hunting for the correct installer later. If you are moving to different hardware rather than reinstalling on the same machine, check whether your licence is Retail or OEM: Retail licences can be transferred, while OEM licences stay tied to the original motherboard.
A product key works without one in most cases, but linking a Microsoft account is worth doing. It is what makes the licence recoverable and reinstalls painless after a hardware change, because the digital entitlement is tied to the account as well as the device. For Office for Mac, signing in with a Microsoft account is how the key is redeemed in the first place, so an account is required there. Creating one is free and takes a minute, and it does not change how the licence itself works.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay, all over an SSL-encrypted checkout. Payments are handled by our payment providers, so we never see or store your card details at any point. Your key is released the moment payment is confirmed — the delivery is automated, which means an order placed at three in the morning arrives just as quickly as one placed at midday. You will receive the key and the official download link by email within seconds.
If your key cannot be activated and our support team cannot resolve the problem, you get a replacement key or a full refund — your choice — for up to 180 days after purchase. There are no restocking fees and no requirement to justify yourself beyond telling us what went wrong. To start, send your order number, the product name and the exact error message or code you are seeing; the code usually identifies the cause immediately. Refunds go back to the original payment method.
