Withdrawal from marketing just means you can't order it any more.  You can 
keep using it as long as you keep paying, and you continue to be entitled 
to service.  If we subsequently withdraw it from service, then you can 
still keep using it as long as you keep paying for it.  Pay.  Use.  Repeat 
ad infinitum.  See the pattern?  ;-)
