install visual studio professional on a mac, only community will install for me

Question

I am trying to install Visual Studio Professional for mac from here:

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/

No matter which version I down load, Community, Professional or Enterprise it is always Community that get's installed.

Anyone else having this issue and know a work around?

I have got the same problem. The Account menu item is not available and I get MonoDevelop on the start page instead of this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/signing-in. — fireydude, May 28 '17 at 12:04

I had the same problem. But was able to solve it with the following steps:

Go to VisualStudio -> Account
Log in with an Account which has the vs Professional/Enterprise license
Restart Visual Studio

After these Actions the window title states "Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 for Mac"

It is possible that Visual Studio will not let you log in because it thinks you are not online. If you are on Wi-Fi try connecting with a wired connection.
