Mobile App Developers Must Update Windows Phone Ad Units By September 12 To Continue Receiving Ads

Select ‘edit’ to associate the specified ad unit with a specific application:

After the mobile ad unit has been associated to an application, users can select a Category and Subcategory (if a subcategory is available) for each ad unit. According to Microsoft, selected Categories should reflect the same categories selected in the Windows Phone Dev Center.

Once updates have been made, users are instructed to save their updates and continue the process for each of their Mobile Ad Units. The announcement makes clear that any Ad units not updated by September 12 will stop serving ads.
