I copied the Windows 8 CP vhd from my colleague. I took a day off yesterday. Today, when I opened Visual Studio 2011 beta program again, I was prompted:
Dep0730: registration of the application failed because no developer license is installed.
This means that you need to develop authorization before compiling the program, and a window for obtaining authorization is displayed, but the input of the MSN account fails, causing a waste of hours.
I searched many articles on the Internet and did not solve the problem.

Later, I copied the vhd file to another computer. In the lower-right corner, I was prompted to activate Windows 8. So I entered my MSN account to activate it, and started vs2011 again to activate it. This succeeded.
On the official website, developer authorization is described as follows:
The developer account is free and can debug the program, but it is best to have a store account
There are three powershell commands about licence:
C: \ PS> show-windowsdeveloperlicenseregistration // install Licence
C: \ PS> Get-windowsdeveloperlicense // view the expiration time
C: \ PS> unregister-windowsdeveloperlicense // uninstall Licence
