Microsoft announce changes to the availability of From SA licences. These licences debuted in the August 2014 Product List and were a cost-effective way for a customer with users licensed with traditional desktop licences with SA to move to the cloud, with, for example, an Office 365 E3 From SA User SL costing less than a full Office 365 E3 User SL. The changes don't affect customers who have bought From SA licences - they'll be able to continue to renew these licences, but from 1 February, 2024 no new licences may be purchased, either by existing or new From SA customer. Now, as users are moved to cloud licences, full User SLs must be purchased for them. There is a concession that remains: each user who used a device licensed with SA for Windows, Core/Enterprise CAL Suite and Office Professional Plus before being assigned a Microsoft 365 E3/E5 User SL may continue to install a local copy of Office Professional Plus.

Decoding Microsoft Partner Incentives: CSP vs. EA Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and Enterprise Agreement (EA) programs are powerhouses for both customers and partners. But did you know partners earn incentives differently through each program? But what does this mean for your business? ?? CSP vs. EA: CSP caters to smaller and mid-sized businesses with flexible monthly billing. EA focuses on larger organizations with annual commitments, offering the stability of volume licensing. ?? Incentive Structure: Partners earn through lock-in periods (encouraging customer retention) and rebates for driving sales of specific Microsoft products. ?? Profit Potential: CSP margins tend to be higher than EA due to the recurring revenue stream and focus on building customer relationships. Choosing the right program is more than just about margins; it's about aligning with your customers' needs and future growth. At LicenseQ - Microsoft Licensing Optimization Experts we specialize in simplifying the complexities of Microsoft's licensing programs. We can help you decide if CSP or EA is the best fit for you, ensuring you unlock every potential financial incentive. Connect with us to optimize your Microsoft partnership today! ??
