How to Renew Developer License For Windows Store Apps

Introduction

This article explains how to renew a developer license for Windows Store apps in Windows 8. A developer license for Windows 8 lets you install, develop, test, and evaluate Windows Store apps before the Windows Store tests and certifies them. Developer licenses are free, and you can get as many as you need if you already have a Microsoft account. By default, developer licenses that you acquire using a Microsoft account must be renewed every 30 days. If you do not renew your developer license after 30 days then you can't develop Windows Store apps.
