    This has been asked quite a few times and I know was covered pretty comprehensively in the old version of these forums which I don't know if they are accessible any longer. Here's what I found:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/solutions-partner-faq#i-have-a-legacy-competency-and-choose-to-attain-a-solutions-partner-designation--what-is-the-process-------

     

    In short, the official documentation does not give a timeline for the retirement of legacy benefits.

     

    One of the moderators might be able to find one of the older threads that was conclusive on this topic.

Hello cesarblumm,
So far, this is the feedback I had from Microsoft on the phone: no end date is decided and it should be possible to renew again in 2024 at least...

This situation is a bit annoying...

    MrMVDT I've recommend you create a Ticket in you partner dashboard platform and talk with a MS representative. I did that. and they sent me an email with my special case.

    LATAM is Latin America.

    Hello cdantiags,
    What a good news ! Did you have this information by email ? Any link which confirms the information?
    Moreover, what is LATAM ?

    Hello cesarblumm !!

     

    I've called MS from LATAM, and they told me that you can renew Legacy Silver indefinitely without issues, because a lot of Development Partners have complain about having only 1 renew and they changed that policy.
