    Hi

    Yes, it's normal.
    A Customer license don't expire.
    A Solution Developer have a validity of 1 Year, based on the agreement&Contract of the solution center and Microsoft.
    Every year Microsoft give us a new license based on our ranking, contracts, agreement, internal certifications and other commercial parameters.

    Hi

    Microsoft send 2 file for the same license. One ".flf" and one ".txt".
    At the beginning of the ".txt" file you can see the expiration date:

    Example:
    SN.....: IT-ZA-003-XXXXX-X

    Exp. Date...: 20-08-11 XXXXXX
    Warning Date: 03-08-11
    Approv. Date: 20-02-09 XXXXXX
    Maint. Date.: 20-02-10

    bye

    My guess would be in 15 days. :mrgreen:

    Just contact Microsoft ASAP and they will cut you a new license. In fact your company may have already done this and you just need to who ever is in charge of licensing to get the new one.
