How does MSDN Subscription Renewals Work

[irasmith]

Howdy once again one and all,

 

It's been awhile since I have posted to the forums here and I had a general question to ask so thought I would seek the information for all of you good folks.

 

While my MSDN Professional subscription still has some time before it expires, I wanted to find out from those who have a subscription exactly how the renewal process works. I was not sure if Microsoft would have a renewal option within your MSDN account so that when you logged into it you could renew it or if you needed to purchase a renewal from a third party and then update your MSDN account with a new license number or exactly what happens toward the end of the subscription time.

 

I have the MSDN Professional subscription, don't think I'll have the spare bucks to upgrade to a higher level so I'm content to renew at the same level as the benefits I am getting from it are adequate for the development work that I am doing at this time

 

Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this?
