I was informed by our channel supplier that Microsoft discontinued R2 as of today. Can anyone confirm that?

We currently have Enterprise 2008 R1. With this it allows us to have as many instances as we would ever need. The Enterprise offering of R2 only allows for 4 installed instances on any machine (VM or Physical).

Do you know if the Software Assurance upgrade path gives us upgrade to SQL 2008 r2 Data Center Edition (as this supports more than 4 Instances)? If not then we will not be able to upgrade.

If we are not able to upgrade will we still be supported for up to 2 versions of SQL, with the Releases NOT being counted as versions?
