TL;DR: Through July 20, you can get Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2022 for Windows for $14.97—the lowest price we’ve ever seen for a legit license (reg. $499).
If you’ve ever looked into Visual Studio Pro, you’ve probably seen the steep price tag and clicked away. But during PCWorld’s Deal Days—that’s our answer to Amazon’s Prime Day—the $499 professional IDE is 97% off for a limited time. It’s a rare opportunity to add a pro-level tool to your workflow without breaking your budget or risking a non-legitimate license on another site.
Regardless of your coding skills, you’ll appreciate the following:
- IntelliCode: This feature offers real-time coding suggestions to help you program faster. It also assists by highlighting your code so you’re aware of bugs or errors.
- CodeLens: This displays commit history, recent changes, and authorship to allow for more efficient programming across a team of developers.
- The ability to edit running ASP.NET pages in the web designer view and use hot reload capabilities across .NET and C++ apps.
- LiveShare: It comes with personalized sessions, access controls, and custom editor settings to speed up editing or debugging.
Deal Days officially ends on July 20, so get your Visual Studio license for $14.97 before then (reg. $499). No coupon is needed.
