We have "Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server" running in the company. Now I face the expiration of "Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server". I learned from http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx that "... products will continue to be supported through that date (12/31/2015) in order to provide with customers sufficient time to move to alternative solutions". My concern is, that Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server does not know about that grace period. It claims:
Your Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has expired. The product will continue to operate during the extended grace period until 5/1/2013. Subsequently, scanner updates will be disabled and the product will operate with reduced functionality.
Is there a way to get a new license number? I called our software vendor, but Microsoft does not sell licenses anymore.
Thank you for your assistance.
