You have until Tuesday December 31, 2013 to purchase SBS 2011 Standard OEM version.

Update 7/1/2013: Handy Andy says that you cannot purchase SA for SBS 2011 anymore.

Tip: If you’re buying the OEM version remember that you have a 90-day window after purchase where you can add Software Assurance to the OEM version. If you don’t add SA, the OEM version is legally locked to that hardware forever.
