Jill,
Thanks for trying. Sure wish there was some insight into the purpose and vision of Action Pack. I thought the idea was for partners to "dog-food" the latest products. In fact, there used to be a clause in the Internal Use Rights that you had a year to upgrade to each new OS after it was released. Ah yes, here it is in the 2017 "Action Pack Product Usage Guide":
"The intent of the Microsoft Partner Network is to showcase the latest Microsoft software technology. Licenses granted to partners are for the latest released versions of Microsoft software only. Licenses do not provide downgrade rights. Refer to the software update table for a complete list of retired products and grace periods. You have 12 months from the effective date to upgrade internal-use software to newer versions."
