Gold legacy benefits renewal cost - 3x price increase
Feels like you're looking at the new Designations and not the Legacy Benefits.
Wow, that's new news to me! So Microsoft did increase the renewal rates for legacy benefits...
This does seem to be conflicting with documentation that I can find regarding this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/solutions-partner-faq#what-is-the-fee-to-attain-a-solutions-partner-designation----------. "If you choose to retain the legacy benefits [...] you'll pay a fee aligned to your legacy silver or gold competency fee."
I would read this as you pay the original competency fee.
I also can't find any announcement that the fees for legacy competency benefits has increased. So I'll ask some of my partners that are renewing their legacy competency, if they can confirm the same.
You could also have a look at the new Partner Benefits packages available, as an alternative: Microsoft Partner Benefits and Offerings | Compare Offers. They also give some good value if you don't need so many licenses.
Hi Guys,
Just picked up on this now as I am trying to renew, is the final outcome pay the ridiculous increase to keep your legacy benefits? Or is there somewhere around it but now selecting something?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
- You could also have a look at the Partner Benefits packages (https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/partnership/compare-programs), if you only want/need intern use licenses. Do note though, that Partner Benefits packages do not include incentive rights.
Cheers,
Martijn
