This PR updates the “Access and authenticate the Visual Studio IDE by signing in” article to better reflect the current authentication model and improve clarity, tone, and structure. It repositions sign-in as the primary method for accessing the Visual Studio IDE, simplifies the introduction and removes redundant content, and replaces negatively framed language with more direct, neutral guidance. Terminology is standardized (for example, “verify,” “unlock,” and “assigned to”), and second-person, present-tense voice is applied consistently. The product keys section is streamlined to reinforce sign-in as the primary experience. Overall, these changes improve readability, reduce confusion, and align the article with Learn style and Acrolinx recommendations.
Normalize and correct links in subscriptions/use-visual-studio-without-key.md: remove `?view=visualstudio` query parameters and trim extra spacing in the Markdown link parentheses for the Sign in documentation links to use canonical learn.microsoft.com URLs.
Remove redundant reference to the license token and shorten the wording to improve clarity. The change updates subscriptions/use-visual-studio-without-key.md to state: "Once signed in, you can continue working without needing a product key."
