Microsoft Software Assurance Training Voucher (SATV) - Update

The changes will start in February 2020 and will gradually be implemented by January 1, 2022. Microsoft is investing in new ways to help organizations deploy, train, and get support for the products and services they buy. Because those new ways overlap with some dated and underused Software Assurance benefits, and the redemption process for some benefits are cumbersome and outdated, Microsoft is retiring those overlapping and outdated benefits.
