My question is why do I need to set up an account for the 'Dev Essentials program' and am not able to simply download the software? Does the reason include needing to assign an id to the people who download an older version? Also I am looking for an answer that includes any information about the program itself, your experience with it, and any benefits of linking it to my account. MySQL Workbench is a unified visual tool for database architects, developers, and DBAs. However on the page it says to "Select a product below and click on the download button to log in to your Visual Studio (MSDN) subscription or join the free Dev Essentials program, to gain access to the older versions." The link from the book, now redirects to but after using the search bar to look for 2010 version I am directed to where the download I need is available and shown. We encourage you to download Visual Studio 2022 and use it just like you would use Visual Studio 2019.


We’re in the home stretch now, and we need your help making Visual Studio 2022 the best developer experience for you. I am following along with a book that requires me to have a previous version of Visual Studio (2010). Take part You can install both the RC and Preview 5 release side by side with Visual Studio 2019.
