How to update the license of Visual studio automatically?

Question

When we manually open the visiual studio and from help menu and click on register, then the license is getting updated.But, we are using visual studio for automation with CI tools like jenkins.Where, we will use the devenv command line tool.Here, we don' launch the shortcut.This command line version is not updating the license automatically. So, every 10 days our compilation is failing and we need to manually open visual studio and refresh the license.

We are getting this error with compilation.

Why do you use a Visual Studio that requires a license in your CI instead of the VS Build Tools? — Ginnungagap, Oct 20 '20 at 07:06

You're likely missing a workload, have you identified which of your needs is missing from the build tools? — Ginnungagap, Oct 24 '20 at 08:32
I have added both the snaps now, can you check once and suggest — uday kiran, Oct 24 '20 at 08:38
Also I tried build tools with these installations only but there is no devenv.com/exe there — uday kiran, Oct 24 '20 at 13:32
