Legacy Gold into Solutions Partner designation license benefits experience
Hello guys, Please anyone have an experience with the below situation regarding switching Legacy Gold into Solutions Partner designation license benefits ? We had a Legacy Gold Solution license ben...
Response from the team:
- Cloud benefits are active for 365 days after being activated. Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program benefits FAQ - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
- Data is generally refreshed around the 20th of each month. Additional smaller refreshes happen multiple times a month as the latest telemetry is pulled into Partner Center. We have a current month plus previous 5 months qualification window to give ample time for partners to qualify and prepare to purchase Solutions Partner Designations.
- Once you have activated any of the benefits associated with your Gold purchase, any refund request will be denied.
- If you have not activated any benefits, support should be able to provide a refund.
I hope this helps!
Hi MartinUl,
Unfortunately, the rules here are clear: you have to wait until the next anniversary to be able to purchase the Solution Partner Designation.

What happens if I have active legacy silver or gold benefits but later qualify for a Solutions Partner designation?
Microsoft automatically upgrades you to a Solutions Partner designation as you qualify. On your next anniversary date, if you still qualify for the Solutions Partner designation, you can purchase the Solutions Partner designation benefits.
