Folks, I received an email (part of which is below) that confuses me. I renewed my MSDN premium two weeks and ago according to my Licensing web page it makes sense: I can see the 2011 sub expiring in a few days and I can see the new 2013 one active.
Now I've received an email telling me that my software assurance is expiring and if I don't renew then I might have to delete or destroy my media (who wants to come to a bonfire?!). The trouble is I don't know what "Software Assurance" or "Open Business" is or how it relates to my MSDN subscription. Nor do I recall taking assurance coverage 2 years ago. Can anyone explain is concise terms what this stuff is and if I have to do anything? Greg K ============= Urgent: Your Microsoft Software Assurance coverage is expiring Your Open Business will be expiring on 31/05/2013. As outlined in your agreement, there are two easy ways for you to continue using your Microsoft software: 1.*Renew your agreement:* You can submit your renewal order, or new agreement, to your Microsoft reseller. 2. *Exercise your buy-out option: * You can elect your buy-out option to obtain perpetual licenses for products listed under this agreement. If Microsoft does not receive your renewal order or new agreement, your license rights will be terminated. All copies of the products licensed and associated media must be deleted and destroyed. We may request written certification of this action.
