I'm curious if it's possible to purchase a three-year license for Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU). I've noticed that all three SKUs are listed in the CDW catalog, but my sales representative is having trouble placing an order for them. Has anyone else had success with this?

From my experience with server licenses, you typically have to renew each year separately. I'm guessing it's the same for the Windows 10 ESUs.
Yeah, you need to renew every year, and just a heads up, the prices increase each time. Year two is about 10-15% more than year one, and year three can go up to 20% more than year one. By the way, why not consider migrating to Windows 11?
That's strange! We managed to purchase all three SKUs through Pax8 without any issues. It might just be a case of depending on your distributor.
I heard Microsoft has made it clear that the costs double each year—year two is 100% more than year one, and by year three, you're looking at 200% more. Seems pretty steep!
