Question on OLP. Service life of purchased licenses?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Haven't worked with Microsoft's OLP before. I thought that the licenses in OLP were perpetual, but when registering in PowerBi on the admin.microsoft.com page, I noticed the following picture:


Well, the question is in the picture .... Have all purchased OLP licenses ended? The products were purchased before the exchange, the previous employee reported that the licenses were in perpetuity.

Answer 1

That's right, it's expired. The license term for OLP is 2 years.
Attention! The Open License program will be terminated. Starting January 2022, Microsoft will stop accepting orders and renewal applications through the Open License Program.

Answer 2

I do not remember exactly, but there is a possibility that this does not apply to the licenses themselves. because they are perpetual, namely to the OV subscription.
It used to be that if you do not have a subscription, then the minimum order quantity for licenses of this type is 5 pcs. You buy them and your license is valid for 2 years, and during this time you can already buy 1 pc. When the time expires, again the minimum order quantity is 5 pcs.
The small soft ones are blown away by these cabinets. I already have 3 cabinets with licenses and they are all different: VLSC, BusinessCenter and AdminCenter

Answer 3

It is necessary to look what licenses were bought.
The program itself has a term limit, but this applies specifically to the licensing program, i.e. you will be able to additionally order licenses within its framework, this is not the validity period of the licenses themselves.
