    Regarding deprecated SKUs (not) migrating towards NCE, the CSP Offer Retirement guide from your source states what will happen: These subscriptions will expire, and if you as a partner don't purchase replacement SKUs in NCE, the service will be discontinued. There will be no auto migrate to NCE for deprecated SKUs. 

    At least, that's what the documentation says to me. 

     

    If subscriptions still show auto-renewal on, I expect that Microsoft just still needs to change that in Partner Center. As the enforcement to NCE only starts in January, so at the moment deprecated SKUs still auto-renew. Only after 1st of January will we see the expire date. 

     

    Regarding the D365 Plan SKUs to D365 Base+Attach SKUs, there's no default upgrade path. The D365 partner of the customer should know which modules the customer uses and should purchase the required Base and Attach modules where applicable. 

    D365 Plan was a bundle package of both CE and UO modules, so it might be that the customer needs Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, PSA (replaced by PO), Finance, SCM and/or Retail (replaced by Commerce).
