使用SSIS Build and Deploy扩展时，Visual Studio试用版是否需授权？

Hey there! Let's break down your question clearly:

• How the extension works: The TG.VSTS-SSIS Extension you're using relies on Visual Studio's devenv.com tool (evident in your log output) to handle SSIS package builds and deployments. Its functionality is directly tied to the Visual Studio instance it uses.
• Trial version limitation: Your Visual Studio 2015 trial will lose full functionality once the 90-day license expires. At that point, devenv.com won't run build/deployment tasks successfully, breaking your SSIS pipeline entirely.
• Core answer: Yes, you need a properly licensed version of Visual Studio to keep using this extension for ongoing SSIS jobs. This can be a paid edition like Professional or Enterprise, or even the free Community edition—just make sure it's licensed correctly for your specific use case.

As a bonus tip: If you're running these jobs in a CI/CD platform like Azure DevOps, consider using Microsoft's pre-configured build agent images. These come with licensed SSIS and Visual Studio tools pre-installed, taking the burden of managing licenses on your own machines off your plate.
