The MSN Encarta site was closed on October 31, 2009, in all countries except Japan, where it was closed on December 31, 2009. In March 2009, Microsoft announced it was discontinuing both the Encarta disc and online versions. For example, the Dutch version had content from the Dutch Winkler Prins encyclopedia. Localized versions contained contents licensed from national sources and more or less content than the full English version. Microsoft published similar encyclopedias under the Encarta trademark in various languages, including German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese.
By 2008, the complete English version, Encarta Premium, consisted of more than 62,000 articles, numerous photos and illustrations, music clips, videos, interactive content, timelines, maps, atlases and homework tools.
Originally sold on CD-ROM or DVD, it was also available on the World Wide Web via an annual subscription, although later articles could also be viewed for free online with advertisements.
