Changes in Software Assurance Voucher Program

Over the course of my blogging, I have extolled some of the training benefits available to our clients that happen to subscribe to Software Assurance as a component of their licensing agreement with Microsoft. Today, Microsoft has announced some key changes that effect the redemption time-line.

Beginning November 11, 2007, SA training vouchers will expire depending on whichever of these comes first:

(a) Expiration of Software Assurance coverage, or

(b) Six months (180 days) from issue date. This means training vouchers can no longer be used after the agreement expiration.

This is a major change from the original structure that allowed activation of vouchers any time during the license period creating a 180 day life from that point forward, conceivably extending the voucher window 6 months beyond the last day of the agreement.
