Installing Visual C++ Redistributable and licenses
I have some software that needs Visual C++ Redistributable. Do I need to acquire some sort of license from Microsoft to install it? I see it's free to download but will it count on the licenses we need to pay if auditors from Microsoft comes?
No. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime is free.
Download what version you need from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
FYI, most programs will install the required version at the same time you are installing the software.
