Or explain to management that it is a three year thing, and that the costs per year are $x, but you will be looking for 3x every 3 years. I don't think MS does 1 year SA's...

I think SA makes this doable on a 3 year period but I'm looking for something a little bit bigger than that. Does anyone know if there is a way to just pay M$ every year a certain amount and always get updates. Ideally this would make setting a budget a very easy thing. Right now every three years I have a large check that needs to get cut. It would be sweet if I cut checks every year for lesser amounts and always kept my software up to date. Any ideas?
