NCE Subscription Upgrades - old subscription still available?
Hello
After upgrading an NCE subscription using the upgrade tool in the partner portal, apparently something did not go quite right, and I believe some manual work was involved.
There are still a few users assigned to the older subscription, and it still appears to be available to assign to users. How long does this state last before the subscription is deleted?
(I think they added a few new users to the upgraded product, so they ended up having the same number of licenses as the older version with all licenses assigned to users, and a few existing users are still assigned to and using the older version.)
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your post. If they did a partial upgrade, the original subscription would stay available but without the upgrade. If there are licenses that shouldn't be there after the upgrade, a support ticket will need to be submitted in order to get rid of the licenses that should not be there.

Thank you.- LicensingConcierge1Former Employee
Hi 214820
I was out of the office last week and others were providing back up.
Since our Licensing Concierge team does not provide tech support, my response would have been that as a Partner, you should carefully log into Partner Center and utilize resources such as the following MS Learn Doc - Migrate subscriptions to new commerce - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
as well as the NCE Handbook .
If you're unable to resolve your issue via the information above, you should submit a support ticket.
Hope this helps!
