How can I change the "licensed to" in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition?

Question

How can I change the "licensed to" in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition? I have not found a solution for Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

Is this a question or answer? The SE network is a question and answer network. The question and answer should be separate. Please read Can I answer my own question?. — DavidPostill, Jan 04 '16 at 13:42
You should also read On Topic and How do I ask a good question? and What types of questions should I avoid asking?. — DavidPostill, Jan 04 '16 at 13:43
If you want to provide both question and answer, that’s fine. However, make sure the question is a question (both title and body) and the answer contains the complete answer. — Daniel B, Jan 04 '16 at 13:45
@David: sorry but I not found how I will create article with solution (not question). — Michal Zobec, Jan 04 '16 at 13:55
@MichalZobec The point is you ask the question as if you don't know the answer. Then you can add an answer below, pretending you're answering someone else's question. We do this to keep the Q&A format, and it also allows other people add a different answer - they might have a better answer! — Bob, Jan 04 '16 at 13:57
@Bob thanks for explanation, it is my first post, I am very sorry for mistake. — Michal Zobec, Jan 04 '16 at 14:19
@MichalZobec on my installation it lists my Microsoft Account email address as the registered/licensed to. Can you provide a screenshot of what you are trying to achieve and why? — Burgi, Jan 04 '16 at 14:43

I have not found a solution for Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, so I am posting my own experience.

Find the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\

Find the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\14.0\

Delete key 14.0\
Navigate to the following folder:
```
C:\Users\{YOUR_USER}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\    
```
(Replace {YOUR_USER} with your own username.)
Delete the folder \14.0\
Start Visual Studio, and create a new license registration.
