Do I understand you to say that if someone purchased ISA 2004 with SA
and kept renewing the SA every year, but chose not to actually upgrade
to 2006, then they forfeit upgrade rights in perpetuity from that point
on? That seems a little persnickety, does it not? We only do a little
bit of SA around here, so there may be something I am missing, but it
has always been the case here that when a new revision came out, your SA
renewals were always relevant to the current version. In other words,
it wasn't like there was even an option to choose to renew SA under the
old version number. Our upgrades have always been tied to a state
contract, which is multi-year, and we always have to decide at the end
of the contract period whether we are going to renew the specific SA's
at that time, but it always in the form of the current version. I don't
know if the contracted time period makes our case unique or not.
I am not trying to be argumentative (at least at this point), just
seeking to understand. The whole point of SA is upgrade protection, so
if you keep it paid up, I don't understand why Microsoft cares if you
actually perform the upgrade(s) to which you are entitled or not.

No; SA gets you the "next revision"; not "the next convenient revision".
If you don't exercise your 2004 SA to upgrade to ISA 2006, you don't'
get to upgrade to TMG.

It's really a matter of whether you have excerised your SA rights yet or
not. If not, why haven't you?
thanks,

Jim,
I don't understand this:
ISA 2006 SA will get them an upgrade to TMG.
ISA 2004 SA will not.
ISA SA is ISA SA... I've never seen a distinction for SA for ISA 2004
vs SA for ISA 2006... If the SA is active / up-to-date, then you've got
SA for the ISA product line. As TMG is the next "version" of ISA, then
any active ISA SA should get you the upgrade... Or am I missing
something?

TMG will release by the end of this year, which will also be about 90
days before it goes "GA" (Generally Available).
ISA 2006 SA will get them an upgrade to TMG.
ISA 2004 SA will not.
TMG MBE does not have SA, so who cares?
Seriously - do you really think anyone with an NDA is going to break it
in a public forum by giving vague suggestions as to a release date other
than what's been publicly stated?
Your nail-biting customers are in no worse position than any other ISA
customer. Those who have "moved on cuz we can't wait" will regret that
decision, but hey - it's their decision to make...
Patience, (gr)asshopper - all good things in their own time. J

Hi All,
Now I know that those in the know are restricted by NDR's and other
constraints but if I were to guess at there being a RC release Oct/Nov
with the product being released to the public by Feb 2010, would it be a
close guess?
Been getting a lot of pressure from clients about when is TMG going to
be available. They are some who have moved to other products already but
I still have some hanging on as they have SA on the product.
Thanks
Andy
