Personal license expired

Stark

Hi All!
When I passed some exams three year ago, MBS send me certificate and personal license. Then I worked in a Solution Center and used their license.
Now, I quit from Solution Center and currently recieve job offer as Independed Contractor. But my license, of course, expired ...
Can I update it in MBS or it's impossably?
If not, what the ways to solve this problem?

Regards,
..

i found one way
change your OS time to the last year or more earlier that you could use your licence.

As a Contractor you should work within the area's of the enduser or NSC's licence, if they need work done outside of thier licence permissions area then thier NSC should do this, or they need to upgrade thier licence, which they can do via Microsoft.

The endusers I have worked for have had suitable licences and understood the limitations.

Also the enduser should first come to an agreement with thier NSC, agreeing the scope of your work and to support your work after your contract has ended, the Enduser is the NSC's customer after all, and in most cases will agree, as they do not want to lose a customer to another NSC or support revenue.

Endusers normally call in Contractors when they have been let down or have become unhappy with thier NSC's work, the enduser should not see you as a cheap replacement for thier NSC, but as a way to have better and clearer control over staff and getting area's of their database finished the way they want it.

Licences are issued not to Consultants / Contractors but to the Companies now, passing the exams allows you to work using the companies licence, no such thing as a personal licence, in retrospect don't think there ever was, as you had to work for an NSC to get your 'Personal' licence which was sent to them not you.

There were changes around the personal licenses. Microsoft is not anymore sending these personal license files. Now we have just one developer license per our company (NFR license - not for re-sale).

As far as I understand, the solution center license agreement does not allow the license to be used by subcontractors, so I'd be interested to know how they do it.
