https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/news/Microsoft365-Teams-EEA There is clearly stated in Q&A Existing EEA and Switzerland based customers may continue to use suites to which they have already subscribed without any impact. Customers who currently subscribe to existing Office 365 E1/E3/E5 or Microsoft 365 E3/E5 suites with Teams can continue to use and renew those suites, as well as adding or removing seats at Anniversary and Renewal. Existing customers who wish to switch to the new EEA (no Teams) suites may also do that at Anniversary or Renewal. So this is customer right. So from this side- answer 49 in transaction guide cannot be accepted, as this limit customer rights & doesn't seem to be inline.

      Hello,

      In general question is how it will be processed situation when customer utilizing Enterprise plans with Teams wants to change partner after October 1st. In general new partner won't be able to open this subscription in Partner Center (also confirmed by Q&A number 49 in Partner Q&A as not supported). But of course it is not inline with general communication & rules annouced. So will it be somehow managed manually?

        Unfortunately, transfer subscriptions is not available for NCE/New Commerce Experiences license-based subscriptions.

        Partners that need to transfer New Commerce subscriptions between partners will need to ensure their current partner's subscription does not auto-renew after it's term and then acquire the subscription from the new partner.

         

         

         

        Note: I don't see 49 questions in the FAQ section of the link you've attached, so I'm not following the 2nd half of your reply.
