Q:  How do I get the testing voucher?

A:  Partner (or potential partners) must enroll a SQL Server 2008 or a Win Server 2008 application on Innovate ON by March 31, 2009. The voucher code will appear once they’ve enrolled their solution under “my benefits” in the InnovateOn portal.

·         SQL Server Voucher offer is good for first 100 ISVs that enroll and test by March 31, 2009

·         Any given ISV application can only use 1 voucher offer towards the platform test

Q:  Is new pricing for the SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 components a limited time only offer as well?

A:  No. The SQL and Windows Server teams have worked with LionBridge to lower the cost, ongoing, of those two components of the platform test. Each of those components will only cost ISVs $250 per component – down from $400 per component

Q: What about the other components of the Platform test?

A: Currently the special pricing is only for the SQL and Win Server Components. However, we are working with LionBridge and other product teams in the meantime to lower the costs of all the components.
