    Hi KathyH724 

     

    Sorry for the delay, I had to get clarification on this & then I was out of the office on Friday. Thank you for your patience. :smile:

     

    SMB Offer SKUs-

    The New commerce experience for seat-based offers in CSP FAQ states that the 300-seat limit on certain SMB SKUs applies to the aggregate of seats on a customer’s multiple subscriptions on that SKU, not to each subscription on that SKU.  

    Think of SMB offers as a smaller group of seat-based offers such as M365 Business Edition SKUs (M365 Business Basic, M365 Business Standard and M365 Business Premium). 

     

    Seat-based offers - 

    Most of the larger promotions (such as the  “Seat-based offers in new commerce”) allow up to 2,400 seats such as the M365 E3 15% discount in CSP, which is a MW promotion for enterprise.  

     

    If a promotion has a seat count maximum and a partner wants more licenses than the maximum seats, the partner needs to purchase one subscription up to the limit at the promotional price and a second subscription at the non-promotional price. New commerce promotions - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
