## How do my developers download Visual Studio?
13+
The developers' assigned subscription levels identify which level of the Visual Studio IDE they have access to. For example, a Visual Studio Professional subscription does not have access to Visual Studio Enterprise. Make sure that you have assigned the correct level.
14+
15+
### For the latest release
16+
1. Have your subscribers sign into the subscriptions portal at <https://my.visualstudio.com/benefits>.
17+
0. Locate the Visual Studio IDE tile in the Tools section and click on the **Download** link at the bottom of the benefit tile.
18+
0. They’ll be redirected to the Download Results page for Visual Studio to download the IDE.
19+
0. Follow the download and set up instructions.
20+
0. Using the email their subscription is assigned to, they’ll be able to immediately sign into the IDE after installation; no product key is required. [Learn how to claim a product key](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/subscriptions/find-keys) for use in an offline environment.
21+
22+
### Find older versions
23+
Your subscribers can also search and download previous versions from the [downloads page](https://my.visualstudio.com/downloads) in the subscriptions portal at <https://my.visualstudio.com>.

## What is the GitHub setup process?
1313

1414
GitHub Enterprise is set up and managed separately from Visual Studio subscriptions. Following a Visual Studio with GitHub Enterprise purchase, a GitHub Enterprise account setup process is initiated in parallel with (but separate from) establishing an agreement in manage.visualstudio.com. Establishing this GitHub Enterprise account may take some time.
1515
After your company has set up a GitHub Enterprise account, subscribers who have been assigned Visual Studio with GitHub Enterprise subscriptions will receive an email from GitHub notifying them that their Visual Studio subscriptions have been linked. After subscribers receive this email, they can reach out to their GitHub organization administrator to receive an invitation to the appropriate organization.

## Why am I not seeing an agreement while logged into the portal?
13+
14+
If you are logged into <https://manage.visualstudio.com/> and do not see an agreement you manage:
15+
1. Check if you’re signed in with the correct email address and tenant in the upper right-hand corner of the portal page header.
16+
2. Contact the super admin who added you as an admin to see what alias you should be using, if you were removed, or if the agreement has expired.
17+
If none of these simple solutions solves the issue, contact support to determine if you are in fact an admin on an agreement.

## How do I purchase Visual Studio subscriptions?
13+
Visual Studio subscriptions are available for purchase through a variety of channels, including [Volume Licensing](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default), the [Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/subscriptions), and [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/store/collections/visualstudio).
14+
15+
[Compare subscription benefits and pricing](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/pricing/) to understand the benefits of each Visual Studio subscription.
16+
Check out the [subscription benefits page](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/benefits/) for more help deciding which subscription is right for you.
17+
18+
### Microsoft Store
19+
Retail Visual Studio subscriptions available through the Microsoft Store include:
20+
- [Visual Studio Enterprise](https://www.microsoft.com/p/visual-studio-enterprise-subscription/dg7gmgf0dst4?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab)
21+
- [Visual Studio Professional](https://www.microsoft.com/p/visual-studio-professional-subscription/dg7gmgf0dst3?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab)
22+
- [Visual Studio Test Professional](https://www.microsoft.com/p/visual-studio-test-professional-subscription/dg7gmgf0dst6?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab)
23+
Each of these subscriptions offers the option to make an initial purchase or to renew an existing subscription. Renewal pricing reflects a significant discount and is only available for existing subscriptions. To qualify to renew subscriptions at the discounted renewal price, subscriptions should be renewed before they expire.
24+
25+
### Visual Studio Marketplace
26+
With monthly subscriptions, you can rent Visual Studio and Azure DevOps without a long-term contract. Billing is handled through your Microsoft Azure subscription. If you don’t have an Azure subscription yet—it’s free to set up and you can do this while you make your first purchase.
27+
- [Visual Studio Professional](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vs-professional-monthly) - monthly subscription
28+
- [Visual Studio Enterprise](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vs-enterprise-monthly) - monthly subscription
29+
30+
