Does Not Work WIth VisualStudio.NET MSDN

[LeeThompson]

Unfortunately this plug-in doesn't work with VisualStudio.NET's new flavor of MSDN.

It's now a rather oddly formed XML, here's a sample. These are pretty much all on one line, broken up here for clarity, actual identifiers are obfuscated.

<root>
    <YourSubscription>
        <Subscription Name="Visual Studio Professional - annual" Type="">
            <SubscriptionGuid>XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX</SubscriptionGuid>
        </Subscription>
        <Subscription Name="Visual Studio Dev Essentials" Type="">
            <SubscriptionGuid>XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX</SubscriptionGuid>
        </Subscription>
    </YourSubscription>
    <YourKey>
        <Product_Key Name="Visual Studio .NET" KeyRetrievalNote="">
            <Key ID="28" Type="Static Activation Key" ClaimedDate="">XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key>
        </Product_Key>
        <Product_Key Name="Windows 7 Ultimate and Ultimate K" KeyRetrievalNote="">
            <Key ID="337" Type="Retail" ClaimedDate="1/1/0001">&lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/cc137104"&gt;Learn more&lt;/a&gt; about product keys and activation.</Key>
            <Key ID="337" Type="Retail" ClaimedDate="9/6/2016">XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key>
        </Product_Key>
    </YourKey>
</root>

I am seeing the same issue here.

Please update :(

I forked this repository and made a version that does work with the Visual Studio MSDN XML file.

@mak0t0san Cheers I'll give that a go! (EDIT: Seems to work!)

You might want to have it skip entries that have:

Custom Key
Value: A product key is not offered with this edition of Visual Studio. To unlock the product, you must sign in using the login associated with your active Visual Studio subscription. By signing in, your IDE settings will sync across devices, and you can connect to online developer services.

Retail
Value: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/cc137104">Learn more</a> about product keys and activation.

The bogus entries all seem to also have Claimed on : 1/1/0001 which might be an easier check.

[mak0t0san]

Latest version has the bogus entries filtered out. You'll need to remove the "Microsoft Product Keys" group and re-import, as re-importing does not remove those entries.
