BTC 3 enrollment eligibility

Hello,

a company wants to join Bridge to the Cloud 3 next year.
They are starting with 40 users and then scaling up to 120 users after migration.

For the migration phase, they want to book 10 CSP users before joining the promotion. 

 

How should the following passage from the FAQ be interpreted?
Are 10 users compliant for the preliminary project because they are scaling up to 120 users, or only 4 because they are only booking 40 licenses at the start of the promotion?

 

Q3:
Can customers who licensed a small quantity of Dynamics 365 online licenses for testing enroll in this promotion?

A: Use of a free trial offer (prior to BTC3 enrollment) does not impact eligibility for this BTC3 promotion.
Although customers with prior paid online licenses of the same product are normally ineligible for this promotion, as an exception, such customers are not excluded if their peak number of paid Dynamics 365 online full users to date does not exceed 10% of the number of full users that will be licensed at BTC3 enrollment.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for the tag JillArmourMicrosoft​.

    Hi JulianLicensing​ 

    Eligibility is checked when the CSP order is placed in Partner Center. The 10% threshold is calculated based on the number of full users licensed at BTC3 enrolment, which in this case is 40 at the start of the promotion.

    In some special cases, Microsoft may grant an exception depending on the scenario. In such cases, you can try to request pre-approval from the customers Microsoft account Team or your Microsoft Partner Account Manager and then raise it with Partner Center Support to have the promotion manually applied against the purchase of 40 licenses.

    Enrolment to the BTC3 would involve the customer purchasing sufficient cloud promo licenses at day 1 to meet the minimum spend, equal or greater than their annual EP renewal.

    If at enrolment this means the customer only needs to buy 40 cloud licenses (at the discounted price) to meet the minimum spend, then up to 4 cloud licenses at full price, could be purchased as a trial/test/PoC before then enrolling in BTC3.  Then they could ramp up the promo licenses in stages.

    You need to calculate the minimum number of licenses to enrol, and that will give you the 10%.
