I have a question about upcoming FY26 on the Distributor side minimum of 30 million USD TTM billed.
I am in Tie Distribution, distributing in Thailand. i see New Update What does this mean, please elaborate.
I want to know how the revenue is calculated and is the minimum really 30 million USD? How can I check how much the current amount is? How is the TTM billed CSP revenue measured, and where can we view our historical data?
Hello,
I am including a link to the distributor requirements here.
Notifications for January enforcement started this month. I am including a link to our FAQ . This FAQ includes information on how to determine your anniversary month on page 5 and information on how TTM is calculated is available on page 4.

Hi JenRheault ,
Thanks for the documentation. Quick question on the disti doc:
it reads 'multiple authorized PGA's exits' shouldn't this be 'multiple authorized PLA's exist'?
(page 5 of CSP Eligibility Requirements for Distributors doc)
Other question:
Can we determine based on the same last sentence that IF more than 1 PLA exists under a single PGA; all these PLA's need to meet the Disti requirements in January? (regardless of when the first tenant was operational in the past)
Thnx & kind regards,
Martijn

JenRheault can you help here? Thank you!
So brutal!!! The Market Share Sizing varies significantly by country, and yet Microsoft has come up with such ridiculously dumb rules. It is impossible for each country's proportion to reach the minimum of 30 million USD. It feels like they’re deliberately pushing partners and distributors to offboard more aggressively. Seriously, what are they thinking?
look in partnercenter under de billing tab. See https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard/v2/billing/overview
It shows the total amount billed in the running year.
@ Microsoft: perhaps add a TTM view to that dashboard instead of splitting it our per CY?
Do they only count amount billed in NCE or do they consider amounts billed in Legacy as well?

MartijnBreet You should submit this to the feedback hub so it gets to the right people:
Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support
:)
are you sure Jill?
quote from the page:
"The Feedback Hub app lets you tell Microsoft about any problems you run into while using Windows devices. You can also send suggestions to help us improve your Windows experience."
Is Partnercenter / a view in PAC also in their scope?
Thanks for the assessment. Will it start from which month or will it start before or after October 1st? In FY26, the impact is assumed to be not up to 30M USD, it may only be 23-25M, which means it will be offboarded without being able to appeal, right?
From the FAQ (a readable version instead of the protected file)
- Revenue and security score requirements will be assessed on the anniversary month of your organization’s tenant authorization (Year 2) and are required to maintain authorization as a CSP distributor.
'anniversary month of tenant auth' would be found under agreements tab(s) --> https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard/v2/account-settings/settings/agreements
Look for first acceptance date. That would be the month you are looking for. If you have >1 tenant look at all and find earliest. Then add a year as the revenue requirement kicks in in Y2.
Next Q: when ?
Timeline from the same FAQ:
I am an existing distributor. What happens if my organization doesn’t meet the new criteria for distributor authorization by the enforcement date?
If your organization does not meet the distributor eligibility requirements on the anniversary month of your organization’s first distributor tenant authorization, your tenant may be deauthorized and later terminated.
Will I receive notice that my organization is at risk?
Your organization will be notified that you must correct any deficiencies to retain authorization. Your organization will have 90 days from the notification date to address the deficiencies. You will continue to be notified of your eligibility status at 60 days, 30 days, and finally, at 0 days during your 90-day notification period.
•T-minus 90 days – 1st notice of unmet eligibility status
•T-minus 60 days – 2nd notice of unmet eligibility status
•T-minus 30 days – 3rd notice of unmet eligibility status
•T-minus 0 days – Notice of offboarding protocols beginHave fun ;-)
