Office 365 ProPlus will continue to work on devices with Windows 7 Extended Security Updates through January 2023. They will be available to any Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise users with volume-licensing agreements. There's no minimum purchase required, according to the documentation I've seen (and a piece of which I've embedded in this post, above).Īs Microsoft officials said previously, the ESUs are for larger business and education customers only. If customers decide to purchase ESUs in Year 2 or 3, they will need to pay for prior years. These prices ensure customers they will receive cumulative security updates for Windows 7 over the course of a year.
I also asked if there would be volume discounts on these prices available to customers with a large volume of Windows 7 devices needed ESUs, which I'm thinking could be the case. I asked Microsoft officials if they'd verify this pricing information. Year one, Windows 7 ESUs will cost those Windows 7 Pro customers $50 per device Year 2, $100 per device and Year 3, $200 per device, according to information Microsoft seemingly shared with its partners and field sales people. To qualify for this pricing tier, customers can be running Pro as long as they are considered "active customers" of Windows Enterprise in volume licensing.įor users who decide to stick with Windows 10 Pro rather than Windows 10 Enterprise, those ESU prices are significantly higher. And Year three (January 2022 to January 2023) it goes up to $100 per device. Year two (January 2021 to 2022) that price goes up to $50 per device. Year one (January 2020 to 2021), that add-on will cost $25 per device for that set of users.
