Notes

  • The seven-day window is for new commerce licence subscriptions; the purchase route and agreement terms apply.
  • The 168 hours of the seven-day window run by the clock from renewal, weekends included, not seven working days.
  • A licence returned to the pool is not automatically a contracted reduction in the bill.
  • EtherInsights does not track Microsoft's seven-day window.
  • Renewal dates come from the price data you set up.
