Renew of Launchpad

[joaocardoso]

Quick question,

My launchpad account will expire in 2 days. How do I renew? On my Developer Account there is no info about renewing so I'm wondering if I need to take any step I'm not aware of.

Cheers and sorry for the basic question.

Use e-mail to request an extension of the membership.

Hi Ron,
My Launchpad account was expired, since there was no notification i didn't noticed that one. Just couple of months back, i had applied for a new one, but still now i didn't got any response.


Thanks,

Send me a letter stating why you need to continue your Launchpad membership and I'll forward it on, that may help, but I can't promise.

Well, it seems to have been "suspended", in the Developer Programs page one can now read:
"We are in the process of refreshing our developer programs to focus more tightly on our core platforms, Windows Phone and Series 40. As a result, we are not currently accepting new applications for Nokia Developer Launchpad and Nokia Developer Pro programs. "
Hopefully it hasn't been cancelled for good.

Looks like it has been cancelled for good. Here is the response I received from them:

I looked into your account and noticed that your membership ended as of July 1, 2012. We are no longer accepting nor renewing applications to the Launchpad program. Nonetheless, we have introduced an exciting program to cater to our developers. The Nokia Premium Developer Program offers great benefits to developers worth up to $1500 USD to help you boost your Windows Phone development. For just $99 USD, you will receive benefits and services valued for an entire year.

Nokia Developer will renew the memberships automatically for the time being.

[Nokia Ron]

Launchpad will renew all the personal and business memberships that expire in March, April and May so they will expire at the end of June. By that time a new process will be in place. You should see the updated expiration times before the end of the month.
