Code Snippet

Expected behavior

The pylance server is able to be connected and provide corresponding coloring and comment on the code

Actual behavior

When I open the VSCode, the " Pylance client: couldn't create connection to server." error message will pop out.
This chuck of message follows with it. Message: Request initialize failed with message: You may install and use any number of copies of the software only with Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, and successor Microsoft products and services (collectively, the “Visual Studio Products and Services”) to develop and test your applications. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights.

I can't even tell what this means

Are you using VS Codium? Pylance is outputting a message saying it's not licensed to work on anything by VS Code. That's the error you get if you're trying to use Pylance on VS Codium or any other open source version of VS code.
