Upgrading your software

If you currently own Microsoft products and would like to upgrade to newer versions, there are two options available:

1. Automatic product upgrade with Software Assurance

   If you have a current licensing agreement with Microsoft that includes Software Assurance, you can upgrade your products without an additional charge. Software Assurance offers a whole range of other benefits including the ability to spread payments; deployment tools; software support; training and corporate error reporting.
   Please contact a Microsoft partner for details.

2. Upgrading 5 or more licenses without SA

   If you need to upgrade more than 5 licenses and you do not have SA, please contact a local reseller for assistance.
