  Live Mesh Beta Will Shut Down on 31st March 2011
  Stephen Boots Wednesday, October 13, 2010 12:36 PM

  Dear Live Mesh beta participant,

  You're receiving this message because you used the Live Mesh beta from Microsoft. On March 31, 2011, the beta of Live Mesh will end, and the Live Mesh beta will stop working. After March 31, you won't be able to access any files stored online in your Live Desktop or connect to your PCs remotely using the Live Mesh software. Your files will also stop syncing between your computers and your Live Mesh online storage. Please read below for actions we recommend you take.

  With the new release of Windows Live services, we've made a series of changes and improvements across the products. We realize they will have an impact on you and we want to make that as easy as possible for you. We thank you for your continued support of Windows Live services.

  Why is this happening?

  To deliver a better product for all our customers, we combined several services into a new product called Windows Live Mesh. Windows Live Mesh has several performance and reliability improvements compared to the Live Mesh beta, and with Windows Live Mesh, you can also sync your program settings for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office. Learn more.

  What you need to do before Live Mesh beta shuts down

  To prevent loss of any of your files, please sync all files from your Live Desktop so that you have them on your computer when the Live Mesh beta service is shutdown. To do this, follow these steps:

  1.       On your Live Desktop, right-click any Live Mesh folders not yet synced with your computer, and then click Sync with this computer. Make sure all the folders on your Live Desktop have desktop shortcuts.

  2.       Select where you want each folder to sync, and then click OK. If a folder has a lot of files, this might take a while. Open each folder and make sure all the files are downloaded.

  What you can do moving forward

  If you enjoyed the functionality of Live Mesh, we encourage you to install the new Windows Live Mesh. You will first need to uninstall the Live Mesh beta, and then go to http://explore.live.com/windows-live-mesh to get the latest version of Windows Live Mesh. Before you do this, note the folders that you're syncing on each computer and if they're shared with anyone. After you download Windows Live Mesh, you can set up these folders to sync again. Learn more about how to upgrade

  Thank you for participating in the Live Mesh beta. We hope you choose to move to Windows Live Mesh.

  Sincerely,

  The Windows Live team

  Frequently Asked Questions

  Q: Why is this happening?
  A: For the last couple of years, Microsoft has offered two similar services for syncing your files: Live Mesh beta and another service, called Windows Live Sync, which let people sync large folders of files between PCs. To deliver a better product for all our customers, we decided to combine these sets of features into a new product called Windows Live Mesh.

  Note: Windows Live Mesh is available only for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Mac OS X version 10.5 or later.

  Q: What can I expect between now and the date the beta service shuts down?
  A: The Live Mesh beta service will continue to run until March 31, 2011. However, we will no longer accept new beta participants. You won't be able to share Live Mesh folders with someone unless they already have Live Mesh installed. On March 31, 2011, you will no longer be able to sign in to Live Mesh beta on your PC, Mac, or on the web.

  Q: Where can I learn more?
  A: For more information and for help upgrading to Windows Live Mesh, please go to the Mesh Help Center.

  Microsoft respects your privacy. To learn more, please read our online Privacy Statement.

  Live Mesh Beta - closed to new participants
  Stephen Boots Friday, October 1, 2010 4:02 PM

  With the release of Windows Live Mesh (http://get.live.com), part of Windows Live Essentials 2011, merging the technology of Live Mesh beta and Windows Live Sync for Windows Vista and Windows 7, no additional Live Mesh beta accounts are being accepted.

  Microsoft has not announced an end data for the Live Mesh beta environment or the Windows Live Sync environment, but it seems logical that these will be shut down in time, given that they are 3 unique environments.

  Please note that any discussion about Windows Live Mesh and Windows Live Sync should go here: http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=24

  This forum will remain for existing Live Mesh beta users for the foreseeable future.
