By purchasing an EventID.Net subscription you will obtain several benefits in regards to the content available here:
1. Notification when a certain event (that you select) is updated. The notification is optional and you can select to be notified for up to 15 events. Every day, at 11:30 PM EST, notifications are sent for the events that have been updated in the last 24 hours.
2. Front-of-the-line processing of the events that you add to your notification list. We receive thousands of events from our users and naturally, processing them takes a lot of work. Since you will be contributing financially, the events that you are interested in will have priority.
3. Direct hyperlinks to Microsoft articles mentioned in the event comments as well as hyperlinks for automatic search for that event through Google, Bing, Microsoft Support and many other sites.
4. No ad banners. Your pages will load faster and the banner ads will not clutter the screen (does this page look better?)
5. Access to premium content like our
Maintenance Tasks database. We will keep adding new content to our site and most of it will only be accessible to subscribers.
