Effective October 1, 2020, Microsoft has drastically reduced the price to upgrade from a Visual Studio Subscription to the equivalent edition including GitHub Enterprise for Enterprise Agreement (EA) customers only. As of October, the price of Visual Studio Subscription without GitHub Enterprise and a Visual Studio Subscription with GitHub Enterprise is almost equal.
To get the most of your investment, we recommend upgrading to
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise with GitHub Enterprise
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional with GitHub Enterprise
Microsoft announced the availability of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise with GitHub Enterprise and Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional with GitHub Enterprise, effective May 1, 2019.
Effective April 1, 2019, Microsoft announced the availability of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. With Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 you can improve existing projects and build the next generation of cloud-native solutions. This latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) empowers individual developers and teams to turn ideas into exceptional applications.
Microsoft has launched Visual Studio 2017 Subscription, which replaces Visual Studio with MSDN. The most important change is the fact that the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) moniker has been deemphasized: what used to be called “Visual Studio with MSDN” is now called “a Visual Studio Subscription”. This subscription label may cause confusion because it suggests a lack of perpetual use rights. Fortunately, though, this new offer continues to offer the same perpetual use rights as before. A comparison of the Visual Studio 2015 with MSDN and Visual Studio 2017 Subscription use rights reveals no changes worth mentioning, and pricing has not changed either.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 subscriptions include developer tools, cloud services, software, support and training. They include the most comprehensive set of resources for you to create, deploy, and manage great applications on your preferred platforms and devices, including Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux.
On March 31, 2016, the SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition is being discontinued as a paid Volume Licensing program offering and instead, will be made available as part of the free Visual Studio Dev Essentials program.

Microsoft will increase Visual Studio Professional monthly subscription prices to properly establish Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) prices relative to Visual Studio Professional monthly subscription prices in other Volume Licensing programs. Beginning January 1, 2016 there will be a 68% price increase for Visual Studio Professional monthly subscription prices in Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA).
