How to enable Architecture Explorer in VS2010 Beta 2?

I just installed VS2010 Beta 2 from MSD开发者_如何转开发N and could not find the Architecture Explorer. I installed VS2010 primarily to evaluate the new Architeture Explorer features, but could not seem to find this in the menu.

It sounds like you didn't install the right version.

There are 3 versions:

• Professional
• Premium
• Ultimate

Check this page for more details on the differences. For the architecture options:

UML® & Layer diagram viewer - available in Premium and Ultimate

Architecture Explorer - only available in Ultimate

UML 2.0 Compliant Diagrams (Activity, Use Case, Sequence, Class, Component) - only available in Ultimate

Layer Diagram and Dependency Validation - only available in Ultimate

Actually, I've found there's a bug or a cheat or I don't even know what to call it. If you install the ultimate rc, then install the professional *official release (aka the one you buy), without uninstalling the ultimate rc......you get to keep all the ultimate architecture functionality. Though it will *say it's professional.

You will of course need the professional license.
