Microsoft Pacemaker FAQ

Q. If my pacemaker is running Embedded Windows for Pacemakers 2021, and I don't renew my annual subscription and pay the US$650 relicensing fee, will my pacemaker continue to work after the 2021 license expires at midnight on 31 December 2021?

No. Your pacemaker will cease to function at midnight Pacific Standard Time on 31 December 2021 unless you have paid your relicensing fee and run the Pacemaker Reactivation Wizard at mshttp://microsoft.com/pacemakers/product_activation/ by that time. Product reactivation is necessary so we can download the latest Microsoft pacemaking and defibrillation technologies to your pacemaker. In addition, Embedded Windows for Pacemakers 2022 features new monitoring visualizations on the My Pacemaker website at mshttp://mypacemaker.microsoft.com/, including the Avalance visualization, the Leonardo EKG visualization, and the Bill Gates is Straight Line! gag visualization.
