I have had quite a few emails and questions on the unannounced drop of SBS2003 from the Volume licensing pricelist which has left some in a position on how to fulfill commitments made to their clients. There now is a post you can read to get the latest:

Eric Ligman explains the changes that have been made to SA to allow some exceptions and give you some time to fix outstanding quotes and commitments. 12/31/08 is the cut off, so go read this blog post and take action NOW. It is a great time to be getting your clients set with the new version of SBS. Lots of great reasons to upgrade and move to the new release. Want to see why you should upgrade, check out Dana Epp's blog on the topic:

Bottom line - SBS is available. You have a window to get things the way you want - SBS2003 and add SA to get the new version, or just buy the new version via licensing. In any case - get with your customers and get them upgraded. Now is the time!

Great new licensing offering annouced
Eric Ligman announced the new Microsoft Open Value Subscription licensing option on his blog today. This is a great new offering for us in the SMB space. Check out details at http://blogs.msdn.com/mssmallbiz/archive/2008/01/01/6933535.aspx.
2008 will be filled with opportunity to generate solid revenue from licensing sales with the new wave of products coming from Microsoft. Make sure you understand the tools we have to sell these solutions as they lead to significant services opportunities.
I also encourage you to check out Erick Simpson's blog on managed services. His comments that what many call managed services may just be a part of your services portfolio is dead on. Many of us thought that for success we would only deliver some form of managed services. That certainly has not been the case for us nor many others. It is a vital part of service delivery health, but there are many forms of service delivery that are profitable and meet customer needs and requirements. Erick says it much better than I so read it on his blog!
