Read atleast the first part of the message.

1st part

I've just reinstalled student "09, a version of encarta, in november '09,
and it seems that encarta update servers at microsoft are offline. Now I have
no way to update encarta. Does anyone knows a way of obtaining the help files?
(P.S: You could either post a web link of the files (please, check that the
works), or help other users by uploading the files on a file sharing site,e.g
(free) zippyshare or (not free) rapidshare. Needed files have likely names
with 09*000++
* - an alphabet indicating market product was sent, sometimes(like my
product) "A"
++ - two numbers indicating the release number of the update, 1 up to 16

Important Notice: MSN Encarta to be Discontinued
On October 31, 2009, MSN® Encarta® Web sites worldwide will be discontinued,
with the exception of Encarta Japan, which will be discontinued on December
31, 2009. Additionally, Microsoft will cease to sell Microsoft Student and
Encarta Premium software products worldwide by June 2009. We understand that
Encarta users may have questions regarding this announcement so we have
prepared this list of questions and answers below. Please keep reading if you
would like more information about these changes to Encarta.

Why are these Encarta Web sites and software products being discontinued?
Encarta has been a popular product around the world for many years. However,
the category of traditional encyclopedias and reference material has changed.
People today seek and consume information in considerably different ways than
in years past. As part of Microsoft’s goal to deliver the most effective and
engaging resources for today’s consumer, it has made the decision to exit the
Encarta business.
Microsoft's vision is that everyone around the world needs to have access to
quality education, and we believe that we can use what we’ve learned and
assets we’ve accrued with offerings like Encarta to develop future technology
solutions. In doing so, we feel strongly that we are making the right
investments that will help make our vision a reality.
When are these Encarta Web sites and software products being discontinued?
MSN Encarta worldwide (except Japan) will be discontinued on October 31,
2009. MSN Encarta Japan will be discontinued on December 31, 2009. After
these specified dates, the Web sites will no longer be available.

Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium software products are also being
discontinued. Microsoft will stop making them available for sale by June 2009.
I use Encarta on MSN Explorer. How does this affect me?
On October 31, 2009 Encarta will no longer be available on MSN Explorer. All
other aspects of your MSN Explorer service are unaffected by this change. MSN
Explorer will post additional information on the Encarta decommission as it
becomes available on Member Center and through direct subscriber
communications.

Questions about MSN Encarta Premium* Subscriptions

*Does not include MSN Dial-up or MSN Premium subscribers. To verify your
subscription type, visit Microsoft Billing & Account Management.
I paid for a subscription to MSN Encarta Premium. Will I get my money back?
MSN Encarta Premium monthly and annual subscribers who have an active
subscription as of April 30, 2009, will receive a refund to their credit card
prorated for any subscription fees paid beyond April 30, 2009. They will
continue to have access to MSN Encarta Premium until the service is
discontinued on October 31, 2009.
How are you issuing me the refund?
We will issue a refund to the credit card we have on file that was used for
billing your subscription. If your card has expired, please update it by
visiting Microsoft Billing & Account Management.
When will the refund be issued to my credit card?
Refunds will be issued on April 30, 2009. The credit should be posted to
your credit card account within 2-3 business days.
Can I still use the same account login after April 30, 2009, for my MSN
Encarta Premium access?
Yes. The login that is associated with your subscription active as of April
30, 2009, is the one you will continue to use through the end of October 2009
(or December 2009 for MSN Encarta Japan).
Who do I contact if I have more questions about my MSN Encarta Premium
account?
You can go to https://support.msn.com, sign in, and you will be able to view
ways to contact Billing & Account Management for more support.

Questions about the Discontinuation of Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium
Software Products
Will this discontinuation affect the current version of Microsoft Student or
Encarta Premium software that I have installed? Will all my information be
irrelevant next year?
Although Microsoft will stop selling Student and Encarta Premium software by
June 2009, Microsoft will continue to release updates to current versions of
Encarta in the U.S. and international markets through October 2009 and in
Japan through December 2009.
When will Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium software products no longer
be available for purchase?
By June 2009, Microsoft will stop selling all Encarta software products. MSN
Encarta will remain online through October 2009 worldwide, except in Japan
where it will remain online through December 2009.
How long will I be able to get technical support for the Microsoft Student
and Encarta Premium software products I own?
Our technical support policy for software has not changed. Technical support
will be available for Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium for 3 years
through http://support.microsoft.com.
Will other Microsoft education software products be discontinued?
We’re not making any other announcements at this time. By changing our
product offerings and both adding and discontinuing products, Microsoft looks
for ways to deliver the most effective technology offerings to help make
teaching and learning more engaging and relevant in the 21st century.

I've made a mistake:
It was not help files that I need, but update files.

Not complete as I missed those that were issued after 17 October - i.e. only
there for two weeks!
[url=http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/34738478/file.html]enc09upd.zip[/url]
Zip file contains multilanguage updates for 2009 and a text file listing the
three(?) missing files I know of. If anyone has these or knows of another
omission, post a message and we can hook up and I'll incorporate them.

I've got one of the missing files: /09/I/09I00015.eit
What can I do to make the enc09upd.zip updated ?

@baibai

That's great!

Simplest thing is to email the file 09I00015.eit to me and I will
incorporate it and update the zip file myself. You can send it to me at
gerun...@hotmail.com

If any other readers of this forum have the final 2009 content updates for
US English Encarta = filename 09Z00017.eit
or
UK English Encarta = filename 09A00016.eit
please feel free to do likewise and I can complete the archive with all
content updates for all versions of Encarta 2009

Good day..
guys do you still have the compiled updates? I installed the old encarta 2009 on my class computer because the school was very remote in the Philippines, they don't have access to internet. Would it be possible if you can send me too the email of the updates that you have, scouring the net leads me to think your archive is the only hope for updating manually..

Thank you in advance and God Bless.
