Hello, all, looking for a C++ program to use on my Surface Pro for my programming class. I used Visual Studio 2014 but did not realize it was only a 30 day free license, though it was 90 day. At any rate, I have tried to download some other Visual Studio programs but all I seem to get it shot, programs that I cannot find or won't run properly on the Pro. I am a windows noob, really like the RT but its touch/pen support was absolute crap, so I went with the 1st gen Pro, much better pen action for taking notes in class. But now I am stuck in class with no program to write my C++ programs in, any help appreciated, thanks!
C++ program needed for school
- Thread starter aeryn sun
- Start date
IDK, sounds like Visual Studio Community or one of the Express Editions would work

Hi, I use geany (https://www.geany.org/) as an editor and g++ (http://mingw.org/) as a compiler.
It works perfectly, it is very light and you don't need a big whole package just to run C++.

Smokey, what is x86? And why would this question be moved there? What does x86 have to do with my surface pro?
Fox, tried that and is no good, keeps telling me my license is expired, WTF? It would appear to be a "free" version for students and the like, but it apparently is not, unless the damn surface pro is screwing things up. I really like my surface pro for school, blows away my old iPad, but the software is just a major PITA,

x86 is the style processor you have in a Surface Pro and you had a questions about a program, (app), so that's why it was moved.
According to someone else that had this issue
You need to sign in to Community in your editor as well as on the homepage if necessary.
That should update the license and fix that. If you need to sign out after that you can. The license should be good for one year before you need to sign in again.
Otherwise it's a problem that you should address to the Microsoft VS Support.
