[German]Another brief information for administrators or people who manage volume licenses in educational institutions and companies. As of October 2020, access to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) will only be possible with a business or school account.

Blog reader Karl informed me on Twitter about the upcoming change, which has probably not been widely communicated yet. From October 2020, access to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) will only be possible with a business or school account. The Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) will be used to manage all volume licensing contracts and to download the installation ISOs. Karl wrote about this:
@etguenni Zum Thema MS Konten eine aktuelle News, die wieder mal nicht breit kommuniziert worden ist.#VLSC Zugang ab Oktober nur mit Geschäfts/Schulkonten. Ich sage, zum Glück. Wird aber wohl viele ärgern die noch kein Geschäftskonto haben. @getwired @On_MS_Licensing @Msft_VL pic.twitter.com/J3CBKu4oXa

The German text within the above tweet means translated:
On the subject of MS account: It has once again not been widely communicated: #VLSC access from October only with business/school accounts. I say, luckily. But it will probably annoy many who do not have a business account yet
Before everything breaks out into collective enthusiasm, here is Karl's second tweet.
We see from webdesign the Vista stuff on #VLSC tells us VLSC is a dead horse or low prio for @Microsoft Microsoft. Next to Update Catalog (XP Design)
The fact that WU / Catalog now uses SHA2 while VLSC only offers SHA1 checksums as of today, is the other side of the medal pic.twitter.com/WXqSY1Xqzo— al Qamar (Karl Wester-Ebbinghaus) Ⓥ (@tweet_alqamar) August 5, 2020
