Hello andrea cabria,

I hope the information above is helpful.

I'm sorry for the confusion you're experiencing. Here are a few suggestions:

1.Double-check the email: Make sure the email you received is from a legitimate Microsoft source. Sometimes, phishing emails can appear to be from Microsoft but are not.

2.Check the certification status: Visit the Microsoft Learn website and check the status of the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification. If it's indeed retired, it should be mentioned there.

3.Contact Microsoft Support: If you're still unsure or if there's a discrepancy, the best course of action would be to contact Microsoft Support directly. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.

If the certification and renewal assessment are retired, it means that they are no longer available for renewal or certification. You may want to consider pursuing a different certification that aligns with your career goals and interests. You can find more information about available certifications on the Microsoft website.

Remember, even if a certification is retired, the skills and knowledge you gained from it are still valuable. Microsoft regularly updates its certification program to reflect the most current technologies and job roles.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Daisy Zhou
