Sma

marky
If your SMA is expired are you still entitled to MR that are released after your SMA expires? For example, I have version 4.2 and our SMA expired on 6/30/2008. Version 4.2 MR3 was released 2/10/2009. I'm I entitled to MR3?

  • Wes, sarcasm, you? Surely you jest.



    Give the man a cigar! I'm in the same boat, 4.2mr1, SMA expired August 2008.

    It is also my opinion that Maintainance Releases (patches) for your version should be no-charge. That's how Windows operates. All my pc's (work and home) continually receive updates (patches) and not one penny is charged. How many millions of seats of Windows are there?

    Why is this so different?

    I do not jest, and don't call me Shirley! (You can call me LaVerne if you whisper it delicately in my ear. . . )

    I'll tell you exactly why I think this is different. If you have to "give away" the MRs for "free" then it might begin to make sense to actually put the proper amount of time and effort into the major releases to ensure most of the stuff in there works like it should, instead of just shoving whatever you have out the door because of a "One Major Release per Year" policy. There is not a new version of Windows every year. I guess that is why Microsoft has been so unsuccessful. Neutral face
