• You can contact support. But for premier level support, it's as we've both said. You have it through your MSDN license or you pay for it. That's just how it goes. But, this is an area similar to licensing. I always recommend contacting Microsoft directly when talking about licensing. If you think you're entitled to more support, contact Microsoft. We could be off on this.
