The Visual Studio product line-up is evolving in 2010. During this transition time, you have an opportunity to activate a MSDN Premium subscription, which will convert to a more advanced edition of Visual Studio 2010 with MSDN.

A wealth of additional features

This "step-up" means you will get an edition with many more features than you have with your current Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 edition.

Make sure your subscription is active when Visual Studio 2010 ships!

If you currently have Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 Professional without an MSDN subscription, you now have a special opportunity to get an MSDN Premium subscription at a reduced price. Then, when Visual Studio 2010 with MSDN ships, you can convert to a more advanced edition that offers a wealth of additional features.

This offer is only available to Volume Licensing customers (Open, Open Value, Select and EA).

Offer ends March 31, 2010.
