Visual Studio 2013: Cannot start "acquire developer license" flow. Brings up control panel instead


I'm trying to update a Windows 8 app using Visual Studio 2013 (on Windows 10), but I can't seem to acquire a developer license. When I click "Project -> Store -> Acquire developer license" it just opens up the control panel on the "For developers" section where Developer mode is already enabled. (The same thing happens when I run Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration in PowerShell.). Without the license I'm not able to create store packages. Hopefully someone has an idea.


Solution

  • The solution was to increase the version number in the manifest and clean/rebuild the project.
