In March 2009, Microsoft announced it was discontinuing the Encarta disc and online versions.

For example, the Dutch version has content from the Dutch Winkler Prins encyclopedia.

Localized versions may contain contents licensed from available national sources and may contain 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. Many articles could also be viewed online free of charge, a service supported by advertisements. As of 2008, the complete English version, Encarta Premium, consisted of more than 62,000 articles, numerous photos and illustrations, music clips, videos, interactivities, timelines, maps and atlas, and homework tools, and was available on the World Wide Web by yearly subscription or by purchase on DVD-ROM or multiple CD-ROMs. Microsoft Encarta was a digital multimedia encyclopedia published by Microsoft Corporation from 1993 to 2009.
