Availability of Premium Assurance for Microsoft systems

Gregory Miller 0

Hello,

I am looking for clarification regarding Microsoft’s Premium Assurance program. Specifically, I would like to know for which systems it was available, excluding Windows Server 2008, and what the approximate end dates of Premium Assurance support were (year & month).

The reason I am asking is that information about Premium Assurance is not clearly presented on Microsoft’s website. Additionally, I have come across information stating that companies which purchased Premium Assurance, despite it later being replaced by ESU, were still supposed to receive the originally planned 6 years of updates.

I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this information or provide reliable sources.

Thank you in advance.

Premium Assurance was available for certain Microsoft products, but it is no longer offered as a new option. Customers who had already purchased Premium Assurance will have their terms honored. However, specific details about which systems were included in the Premium Assurance program, apart from Windows Server 2008, are not provided in the context.

Regarding the support duration, it is mentioned that customers who purchased Premium Assurance were supposed to receive the originally planned updates, but the exact end dates for Premium Assurance support are not specified in the provided context.

For further details on the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which replaced Premium Assurance, you can refer to the relevant Microsoft documentation for more comprehensive information.
