When does free Encarta Premium subscription inside Student
2008 ex

I bought MS Student 2008 and it says that it already has free Encarta Premium 
Subscription. The updates, weather syncronization and other online stuff, 
according to the box, expire in October 2008. Does it mean that whenever I 
activate my online subscription to Encarta Premium it will expire together 
with the program, in October? Or, if it will not, can I activate it in the 
last day of September and then use the online service for a fullyear after 

Encarta updates usually expire every year in October. Installing/activating 
in September gives you one month - not a year.
