I came across a similar problem in the past.

Do you have another installation of Visual Studio somewhere on your 
systems e.g. the Express edition or Visual Studio 2008 ?

I didn't get to the bottom of how the problem went away but we had 
Express installed and purchased the Professional version later and 
evaluated for the 30 days. Around the end of the evaluation period (last 
couple of days) is where the problem started even when we put in the 
proper license information. As I recall, it went away **after** the 
evaluation period as the software started using the purchased license.

As with Windows, rebooting may help.

HTH.
