Microsoft to Cease License Renewals for Russian Companies Starting October 1

Microsoft has announced that it will no longer extend licenses for Russian companies beyond October 1, as reported by TelecomDaily with reference to TASS. September 30th marked the final day when Russian corporate clients of Microsoft had the opportunity to renew official licenses for the company's products.

While Microsoft's Russian office has not provided clarification regarding whether this decision will be reconsidered, a support letter obtained by TelecomDaily indicates that Microsoft will no longer accept bank transfers to local bank accounts as a method of payment for its services in Russia. This change will impact the ability to renew existing subscriptions.
