We are happy to announce that a new release of AIDE for LightSwitch will sim-ship with VS2015 RTM. Xpert360 are Microsoft Partners in the VSIP program. We have committed to support VS2015 RTM within 30 days of release across all Visual Studio paid and free offerings.
AIDE Studio for LightSwitch
With this refresh, all our LightSwitch desktop themes and theme packs are free for run-time use. The vNext AIDE will be made available as AIDE Studio 2015 with free-use Community and paid Enterprise editions. No more trial editions, a simplification in the licensing and packaging, fully integrated with Visual Studio Gallery for discovery and upgrades. Watch out for more announcements and materials in the coming weeks.

The live streaming will give a great overview of getting started with Visual Studio 2015 , .NET 4.6 and Visual Studio Online. Packed with demo’s showing improved productivity, cross-platform development and new opportunities.
It is anticipated that the Visual Studio 2015 RTM will be announced as available to download. The VS2015 pre-RTM release has been with the Xpert360 Development Team for some time as we test and build the latest releases of our tools ready to Sim-Ship as a member of the Visual Studio Industry Partner program (VSIP).
The editions of Visual Studio 2015 available is different from previous release and you can compare the editions here. In our eyes the key change is availability of the Community edition continuing with support for LightSwitch and extensions available from the Visual Studio Gallery. This considerably expands the reach of the Visual Studio platform.

Hello,
I’m particularly interested in: “[…] AIDE Studio 2015 with free-use Community and paid Enterprise editions. No more trial editions, a simplification in the licensing and packaging[…]”
Have you ever released AIDE Studio 2015 with free Community licensing? I’ve just checked your website and it doesn’t seem to be there.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Tom
