In one of the related articles, two requirements are mentioned (emphasis added):

Before I begin, there are a few things to note about the "Debug Managed Memory" feature discussed in this post:

  1. The option will only be available from the dump summary page in the Ultimate version of Visual Studio 2013. If you are using Premium or Professional you will not see the option.
  2. The process the dump file was collected against must have been running on .NET 4.5 or higher. If the dump was collected on 3.5 or previous the option will not appear, if it was collected on 4.0 it will fail to launch with an error message.
