Thank you Pernille-Eskebo CSP Licensing Concierge. I reached out to Microsoft Partner Support and they were not able to tell me so far. The Partner Sales Acceleration program does not know either so far. Awaiting to hear back from them. Do you believe that purchasing a Microsoft Action Pack will solve the issue and assign us a Partner Development Manager?
Thank you

    Hi LicensingConcierge1,
    Thank you. It seems that this is distinct from a Partner Development Manager.
    My goal is to be able to ultimately become a LAR (large Account Reseller), being able to help their end-customers signing EAs and SCEs (VL-agreements) with Microsoft.
    Thank you

      Hi Mmk2118

      My suggestion is you can contact Microsoft Subsidiary in your country and do the discussion about your goal to become LAR.

        Thank you eulerzzzz but which Microsoft Subsidiary? I called Microsoft Corporate Office in the U.S and the automated system does not allow it to be passed. It keeps asking for the person I am trying to reach.

      There is no process for that where Partners can simply sign up for this, best option is to establish a contact to the local subsidiary directly to discuss the options - e.g. via the account team at Microsoft (Partner Development Manager). 

       

      As a friendly reminder, effective July 2013, the name of the Large Account Reseller (LAR) was changed to Licensing Solution Partner (LSP).

        Thank you LicensingConcierge1 but how do you contact a Partner Development Manager?
        I called corporate at 425 882 8080 and an automated system keeps asking for the name of the person I an trying to reach.
