Thank you for letting me know. My question does have to do with Perpetual CSP. Should this still be moved to the NCE & BizApps community? If so, if you could move it, I would greatly appreciate it. Would this be where I would also post other licensing questions having to do with either seat based NCE licenses or Perpetual CSP licenses? I appreciate your help!
