Copilot Licenses and Evolution of Benefits Packages
DanDonohue I already have a MAPS pack subscription which somehow gives me loads of resources such a sandbox environment for Dynamics 265 CE (absolutely essential) and access to a whole suite of Dynamics CE apps which I need. Looking at the list of benefits for Partner Launch, the lowest offering I can only Dynamics Sales. So it appears this is a downgrade.
Also, you mentioned: "This includes game-changing Microsoft Copilot products, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Microsoft GitHub". Given this is all about AI partner launch then clearly access to Copilot and tools would be essential for partners BUT no mention in the benefits table!?
Overall, still great value to small enterprise but I just don't understand the lack of AI offerings. Very odd.

Hi ashleychilds, thanks for reaching out.
Since I posted this the Microsoft partner team has launched the benefits comparison tool, which may be helpful to you in comparing benefits. In the Partner Launch benefits I do see D365 licensing - but it may be different than what you currently have under MAPs.
Copilot and AI are in huge demand and leadership is aware of the partner requests for this. Copilot was added to select benefits packages, starting with Partner Success Expanded. I understand that is the top-tier for paid benefits, I don't have any insight into future licensing expansion.
