	I installed Atmel Studio 6.1 - April version with no problems.� I downloaded and installed VM beta, but when it tried to download the debug license, it appeared as nothing happened.� It returned the same window as before.� I clicked on the 30 day eval again, and I got a message " Error: The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden Activation Limit Exceeded for this Key. When I tried to look at the Project properties,� it did not show what I was expecting.� I found the patch and installed, and the properties showed up correctly.� When trying to change the debug from none to Full, it brought up the licensing pop-up, but returned the same error message as above -limit exceeded. In general, this extension for Atmel Studio is really going to be nice!� I've seen other attempts that just wouldn't cut it. Also, when Atmel Studio opens, it brings up the start page where you can select a new project etc.� You should add an entry on this page for a new Arduino project.� I know you can access it via the menu bar, but it would be nice to find it on the start page.

	Hi there, thanks for the note, yes I have put toooo much effort into this project but it is fun. I will take a look at the activation window, I suspect that a successful start of the trial was not notified correctly. So subsequent attempts show the limit exceeded error. I will email you a 30 day trial license key to test and an unrestricted key in a few days as a thank you. . Please enter the key into the text box on the activation window and click "Activate" Thanks very much for the report. fyi: A license key can be added manually using "Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Application Features".

	By the way, thanks for the suggestion about the start page. It's a great idea, I will investigate

	This problem can happen if Visual Micro attempts to start a trial when a trial has previously already be used. If you would like to start a new trial then please email us at trials [at] visualmicro.,com
