What you get

After payment you receive a Visual Studio Professional 2017 product key by email, instantly in most cases (a system delay can occasionally add 5–10 minutes). The key is also saved under My Account → Keys.

Who it’s for

Visual Studio 2017 is for maintaining projects that require its toolset: version 15.9, the MSVC v141 compiler, and older .NET Framework and Xamarin projects. Microsoft supports version 15.9 with security fixes until 13 April 2027. For new work, choose Visual Studio 2022 Professional.
