Specifically, the form indicates that with the submission, you agree to extend the registration for an extension of the duration of 36 months. At Metrixdata 360, after more than a decade of experience in dealing with Microsoft, we`ve seen a shift in the way Microsoft tackles these extensions, which could make your extension more difficult than in the past. Below we`ve described some of these changes in Microsoft`s handling of enterprise agreement renewals. I get this question all the time because, let`s be honest, it`s an important decision. For example, an Enterprise Agreement (EA) extension can cost about $US 1,500,000 per year for a company with the 10,000 PC desktop master suite. So, what do you have for this effort? You have already acquired a perpetual license for the corresponding Microsoft products through your original EA, so the extension is just an extension of the maintenance item called Microsoft Software Assurance (SA). . . .
