New benefits availability
Had similar issues with our partners. They logged a ticket and Microsoft confirmed that there're some issues with the new benefits. They did manually add the missing benefit for those partners in their Partner Center.
So if you're missing some benefits, log a ticket and they should fix it. Or indeed wait till they fix the broader issue.
The guide did not explain well that partners who would renew before January 22 would be excluded from the 2025 benefits. We renewed on January 18, 2025. If I had known the rules were like this, I would have waited four days to renew the partnership. All of this is absolutely ridiculous, especially since the licenses we use are needed to understand the products before selling new licenses to customers. I hope Microsoft will fix this problem and remember that partners are the driving force of sales.
