Not all benefits are impacted in the same way when a subscription expires. No benefits can be activated after your subscription expires. Benefits you've previously activated might still be available, depending on how they're authenticated. Most third-party benefits, such as Pluralsight training, are still available for the duration of the benefit. Benefits that require validation that a Visual Studio subscription is still current aren't available.

Benefits you've previously activated are available to you for the remainder of their terms. For example, if you've activated a six-month LinkedIn Learning subscription and it still has four months remaining when your Visual Studio subscription expires, you can access it for those four months.
