  • Period of Microsoft products is for 10 years  5 years.
  • In case of corporate edition, the support will be postponed 5 years. (Total support is for 10 years)
  • To postpone the support period of Windows XP was the exception measure due to failure of Windows Vista

The Office has always recommended the purchase of the corporate edition, so the corporate edition is used in most Center’s PCs. Please pay attention about the software lifecycle (Especially, OS). At least, if you carried out “PC Scan”, the Office can alert about the finish of OS support.
