the problem

hey all, just a short post here to let you know what i discovered recently. i logged onto my machine and noticed these 2 icons had an x at the bottom right-hand corner.  i thought that is strange, i deployed these applications from visual studio 2012 with a valid developer license for windows 8.

after clicking on the app, then it displayed this dialog box:

then after i clicked on “go to the store”, it finally gave helpful information regarding my developer license for windows 8 apps had expired.

the solution

fire open the windows 8 solution in vs2012 and simply hit “i agree” on the dialog box and you will be up and running in no time.

ps: if you don’t do this and already have a solution open the vs2012 does provide a helpful message as shown below.

wrap-up

thanks again for reading and happy new years!
