CSP potential customer on MCA multitant/ shareholding
Not sure regarding your first question regarding compliance, as I don't really understand your question here.
But regarding question: "Is it possible to reach an agreement with Microsoft for this company construct without concluding an EA?" = no. There's no room to make special agreements in CSP, as Microsoft does not allow unique setups or license exceptions thru CSP. Special cases can only be address thru EA (or rather the new MCA-E, as EA has stopped since January).
Each tenant would need to purchase their own licenses for their own use. And afaik D365 does not support Bring Your Own License. So if an user is active in all 3 tenants and need to access 3 environments, he'll need 3 licenses.
Other question from my side, why would Customer A even want to have his ERP production environment/database be deployed in another's company's tenant? Even if they're somewhat affiliated, I only see high risks here 😅
Thank you Martijn, that was my thought, too. We have also named the risks to the customer.
Regarding the first question, I would like to explain an other way.
In my opinion, only the controlling party can sign the MCA, as it holds more than 50+% of the other companies. Therefore, company A cannot license under the same contract?
