Print/export private offer & terms to a PDF for customer's offline processes?
Hi all, We have a situation where a customer is asking for a 'private offer' to be published to them - which is fine, we have done that. However, their procurement processes don't appears quite up to speed with using 'digital marketplaces' and so their procurement person is asking if we can send them a PDF hardcopy of the 'private offer', so they can send it onwards internally for approvals, before clicking the 'accept and then 'purchase' buttons in Marketplace. It seems that the authority within the customer that needs to approve it, is not actually a person that uses or will log onto the Azure Portal to view and accept the offer... and that a person who will logon to the Azure Portal to 'accept' it, first needs to send a PDF/hardcopy to someone to approve it. Is there a way that we as the ISV can export the 'private offer' to PDF for them, or a way for them to view the private offer in their Azure Portal and to export that to a PDF, so they can use internally for their approval processes?

MS-900 Vouchers still being offered for Virtual Training Days
Hello, I'm looking to attend a virtual training day and to get a voucher for the MS-900 (or its closest equivalent AB-900). When I go onto the training website to book a virtual training day, the MS-900 vouchers are still being advertised and linked to despite the exam no longer being purchasable or available to be taken. Can this be updated please? Thanks, bearclover
Microsoft Hardware Program Enroll
Team, I am trying to enroll in the Microsoft Hardware Program through Partner Center. The enrollment itself is failing/stuck. Your responses are repeatedly asking me to upload the EV certificate and referring to the standard documentation. However, the EV certificate upload option is NOT visible in my portal currently. As per the enrollment flow: Hardware Program enrollment must first complete successfully. Only after successful enrollment does the EV certificate association/upload option become available. Since the enrollment itself is not completing, I cannot proceed to the EV certificate step. I already followed the shared documentation before opening the ticket. Please review this as a backend enrollment issue instead of an EV certificate upload issue. I request you to: Verify my Hardware Program enrollment status from backend Check whether the account/program is partially provisioned Confirm whether the EV certificate step is being incorrectly enforced before enrollment completion Escalate this case to the Partner Center / Hardware Dev Center backend team I have already opened multiple tickets over the last month and received the same generic response repeatedly without resolution. Please review the actual portal state instead of sharing the same article again Ticket numbers: 2605040040001840 2604090040002224 2604290040001239 Error Code: unable to register Microsoft hardware program. getting this error Something went wrong. Please contact support. (ReferenceId: 351839c0-b44a-49df-08ec-08de913793cc) Thanks
Why is the Microsoft partner support so pathetic.
We have been raising support requests through Partner Center, but the resolutions we receive from the support team are often just links to publicly available documentation that we can already access ourselves. If we were able to fully understand and resolve the issue through those articles, there would be no need to contact support in the first place. It seems the third-party support team does not fully understand the concern being raised, and the responses are usually generic line items with documentation links, which is not acceptable. How do we get beyond these front line partner support team and connect with actual partner teams from Microsoft to get the issues resolved. I’m not sure if other partners are also facing similar experiences with Partner Support, unresolved issues, or inadequate responses.
How to get discounted Exam voucher codes as a Microsoft AI Cloud partner
Dear Team, I would like to know as a Microsoft AI cloud partner with solution designation, how can we get discounted Exam vouchers for certifications. Is there any methods or portal were we can achieve this? I couldn't see anything from Microsoft Partner portal
CSP account suspended without notice, no explanation given. What are my options?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in the community or perhaps someone from Microsoft can help me understand what happened and what I can do next. I've been a Microsoft partner since 2019, and last January I renewed my Partner Success Core Benefits program. A few months later, I discovered my CSP account had been suspended with no prior notification whatsoever. I opened a support ticket, and the response I received cited section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Program Agreement, essentially stating that Microsoft can terminate a partner relationship with 30 days' notice and is not required to provide a reason. I understand this is contractually possible but I received no notice, and no explanation. After re-opening the case multiple times, I was told to enroll into a new tenant with a new enrollment. I attempted this, but it did not work. When I followed up, I received copy-paste responses directing me back to the same steps. To summarize where I am right now: Partner since 2019, with renewed subscriptions as recently as January Account suspended and no advance notice received No explanation provided, citing section 4.b of the agreement New tenant enrollment suggested but unsuccessful Support has been non-responsive beyond templated replies I'm not here to argue, I accept that Microsoft has the right to make decisions about its partner ecosystem. What I'm asking for is basic transparency: did I do something wrong? If there was a compliance issue, a policy violation, or any other reason for the suspension, I would genuinely like to know so I can understand and, if possible, address it. I also have some practical questions the community may be able to help with: Is there a formal appeal or review process for suspended partner accounts? Is new enrollment genuinely possible after a termination under 4.b, and if so, what are the correct steps? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to resolve it constructively? Is there an escalation path beyond the standard support ticket process? I know I'm a small partner and this is likely a minor matter from Microsoft's perspective. But for a small business that has invested years in this program and renewed in good faith just months ago, this situation has had a real impact. A clear explanation, even a difficult one would go a long way. Any guidance, shared experiences, or pointers to the right escalation channel would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Unable to create a partner account
Hi , I need help to complete my registration. I have successfully created a new account with my business email but it says it was a personal account.

Hello Partner Compliance team, My company's enrollment in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program was automatically blocked at the "Company information" step. The portal returned "Your request has been blocked" with no actionable detail. I retried after updating my Entra tenant organization name, and the block returned with the exact same reference number, which suggests a stable hold on the account rather than a re-evaluation. I am requesting an escalation to the Partner Center Vetting / Trust & Safety team for a manual review and reset of my blocked enrollment, so I can complete company verification. I have our official company registration document (Kbis) available on request.

Hi, I am trying to register as a Microsoft Partner, but my verification was blocked with the following message: Reference number: 715‑123160 Transaction ID: 2a392997-f7e1-4325-842c-04eb313593e5 The issue is that because the enrollment was blocked at the trust‑verification stage, no Partner Center workspace was created, so I cannot open a support ticket. The “Contact Support” link takes me to a page with no option to submit a request. I am the Global Admin of the tenant. Could you please escalate this to the Partner Trust & Safety team so they can review my verification and advise on next steps? Thank you.Multiparty private offers in Microsoft Marketplace are expanding to 30 countries across Europe

Query about Marketplace listings - I want to upload a new offer as SaaS. I want to make sure it's transactable and also have the azure benefit tag added to it.
