FULL STORY
======================================================================Get 
Licensing Ready site will cease to exist from January 1, 2025 Users have been 
given until New Years Eve to complete training New AI-powered learning 
enhancements are coming soon 

Microsoft has quietly confirmed it will be closing down its Get Licensing 
Ready page in the New Year, giving users until just the end of the year to 
finish their training modules. 

Advertised as a complete and up-to-date resource for anyone who needs to 
learn about Microsoft licensing, the page hosts over 50 modules and other 
documentation designed to help users navigate the tricky world of software 
licensing. 

The dedicated email alias for Get Licensing Ready will also stop working on 
January 1, 2025. Microsoft closes down Get Licensing Ready 

A pop-up on the page confirms: The Get Licensing Ready website will be 
retiring on January 1st, 2025. Microsoft will be ending support for licensing 
certifications through this platform and phasing out the Get Licensing Ready 
resource. 

Although users have a little over a month to complete any active modules and 
download their certificates, current certificates will remain valid for the 
full 12-month period from the date that they were issued. 

Despite the platforms closure, it seems the content and resources will be 
relocated to microsoft.com/licensing. A spokesperson stated (via The Register 
)   the company remains committed to supporting licensing knowledge and 
solution-building for our partners and customers. 

Microsoft also hinted at new features, citing new AI capabilities to further 
enhance learning and engagement. The recently launched Partner Center AI 
assistant currently helps with managing partner accounts, billing and 
memberships, but it doesnt address licensing concerns. 

In the meantime, although resources will continue to be available in a 
slightly different format, users of the site will need to act quickly to 
ensure that their certifications are complete and downloaded before the New 
Year deadline. You might also like Check out all the best productivity tools
