Microsoft has move most of their products to annual subscriptions. All our Microsoft subscriptions renew every year in July/August and the prices go down each month as we get closer to the renewal date. When renewal prices become available, all subscription holders will be contacted with the pricing for their renewal to see if they want to continue for another year.
