The agreement term is three years. At the end of three years, you can sign a new agreement or let the
agreement expire.
You must request a “wind-down period” at least 30 days before your agreement expires. You can only
request this if you are not signing new agreements and need to provide software services beyond the
end of the agreement to existing agreements. You cannot provide software services to any new end
users or extend any existing end user agreements.
You can terminate the agreement with 60 days prior written notice to Microsoft. Within 30 days of your
agreement terminating or expiring, you are required to remove all copies of client software from your
