So what about those action pack licenses?

http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2009/10/30/mpan-program-closed.aspx

So the bigger and more important question is ...what about the action pack license that was allowed to be purchased by CPAs as a result?  Are they still licensed?  Can they renew?  Can they keep the licenses or do they have to buy all new Server and OS licenses to make themselves legal?  [notice I'm using the word they as I've kept my firm buying software assurance for the server all this time and didn't use the action pack for the firm]

I don't know the answer to that one.  Stay tuned.

[and shame on the Office Accounting team that didn't anticipate that this would be the bigger question of the morning]

CPA's in Canada weren't restricted, even though Office Small Business Accounting software was never offered in Canada.  I have a couple of clients that are registered partners with Microsoft, and Microsoft hasn't ever questioned their business relevance to MAPS even though their business profile is entirely truthful on the partner site.
