As of July 1, 2013, email support for Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) members has been discontinued, whilst phone support and live chat is now limited to partners with an active Competency or Microsoft Action Pack subscription. Learn more about Microsoft Partner Network membership.

 

To continue providing an agile and responsive support experience for all partners, Microsoft has introduced the Partner Support Communities.
