I'm trying to load a TDS solution from the Clothing Company Sample Solution provided in learning@sitecore but when I tried to load it, a few error messages appeared. First one is Sitecore TDS license cant be verified.
The second error appears when I reload the TDS project. Project Unsupported error.
Things I have tried:
- Reinstall TDS
- Restart Visual Studio and PC
- Repair Visual Studio
The output from Visual Studio:
The error 'The operation has timed out' occured while checking your license.
This error occurs when Visual Studio is blocked from accessing the Sitecore license server.
Please contact [email protected] for more information on resolving this error.

Just putting this out here. Found the fix. Just have to launch visual studio without selecting any recent projects. Once the visual studio is launched, click on Continue without code and everything should be working fine.
