Attesting the MCA for the customer is only for license provisioning and does not provide the partner with access that the DAP reseller link 'can' do. Noting that all partners should be moving to GDAP, which requires different approval links the customer must still accept to allow a partner access.

If the customer is unwilling to accept DAP or appropriate GDAP roles, then the only options are as I described.

    My reply's were to answer the original question, which is:

    They say that they have previously received support from another supplier w/o accepting a reseller link, but instead filling out a web form.

     

    I spoke with the Microsoft Sr Partner Tech Strategist, who confirmed my response. 

     

    If you're adding a point about the DAP/GDAP, then thank you very much. 

     

    Since the OP hasn't responded, I'm assuming our replies have been helpful, so I'll go ahead and disengage.  Thanks Nick :smile:
