Visual Studio 2013 is now available for download!<\/a> We hope you are as delighted with this release as we are to bring it to you. You can learn more about what’s new in Visual Studio 2013<\/a> on the Visual Studio website. Also mark your calendars to join us\u00a0for the Visual Studio 2013 virtual launch event<\/a>\u00a0on November 13th!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t tried out Visual Studio 2013 Preview or RC, when you first launch Visual Studio 2013 you\u2019ll be invited to sign in to Visual Studio with a Microsoft Account.<\/p>\n

\"sign<\/a><\/p>\n

When you sign in with your Microsoft account, Visual Studio will remember your top settings and automatically synchronize them across devices ensuring Visual Studio is set up to exactly how you like it! You can learn more about this feature from our previous Synchronized Settings blog post<\/a>\u00a0or from MSDN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Signing in has other advantages in addition to synchronizing your settings across devices. As an MSDN subscriber, signing in will automatically unlock the IDE without needing to enter a product key. Signing in to Visual Studio Professional, Premium and Ultimate can extend a trial, and Visual Studio Express users can sign in once to fully unlock their IDE. In addition, when you sign in, Team Explorer can now prepopulate all your Team Foundation Service accounts automatically in the Connect to Team Foundation Server dialog and connect to them without re-prompting for credentials. Check out Signing in to Visual Studio<\/a> to learn more about the capabilities that get lit up when you sign into Visual Studio.<\/p>\n

Please note that you can still unlock Visual Studio Professional, Premium and Ultimate with a product key. However, features that need a signed in user, like Synchronized Settings won\u2019t be available.<\/p>\n

For information on Windows 8.1, which was released today the general public,\u00a0please check out Blogging Windows<\/a>. MSDN subscribers can also download both Visual Studio 2013 and Windows 8.1 from the\u00a0Subscribers Download<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Download Visual Studio 2013<\/a> to try out the new features. To help get started, check out system requirements and platform compatibility<\/a>\u00a0as well as the\u00a0Productivity Tips<\/a> on MSDN.\u00a0Finally, to gain more insight into Visual Studio 2013, read additional posts in the Developer Tools blog network<\/a> from the people who contributed to this release.<\/p>\n
