Does this update remove your ability to activate with a license key, requiring you to sign in to your MSDN account?

Go to Visual Studio 2013 in the menu and download it as normal, the text says this:
Note: If you already have Visual Studio Premium 2013 (original release version) and run this download, only Update 5 is installed. If you don't have Visual Studio Premium 2013 and run this download, both Visual Studio Premium 2013 and Update 5 are installed. In either case, Visual Studio 2013 Language Packs (original release versions) can also be installed.

That's for the people who can't / don't want to update right away.
Especially since Intellisense with VS2015 and Roslyn got.. kinda slow.
This is the boat I am in. I'm trying out VS2015 at home, but at work, we've got to wait for approval/testing/etc.
Sounds like it at least is being tested. ;-)
I still gotta convince my team leader to buy it.. While having it would be nice, we don't technically need it, so there's not that much reason to buy it.
A buddy of mine is still using 2005, and has to work with one 1280x1024 monitor on Windows XP! He works for a major bank...lol
It could be worse!
Next time try to swing a MSDN subscription.
Especially since the price went down.
