Renewing our Legacy Gold Benefits
- Jan 22, 2024
LicensingConcierge1 Your statement on on-premises software is true. These are not perpetual IUR licenses, thus are only allowed to be used while the Competency or Designation is active. But this is not the question I believe.
Question was related to if they're still able to renew their Legacy Competency in the future. And the documentation states that there's no plan to discontinue Legacy Competency renewals: Silver or Gold Membership - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
Hi nick_Anag
Unfortunately not, based on the following documentation (in the link below), since Gold/Silver memberships are retired as of September 30, 2022.
You will not be able to use the on-premises software product licenses since the on-premises software product licenses included with legacy gold/silver benefits pack, the Solutions Partner designation, and the Microsoft Action Pack because they are not perpetual. You're entitled, and have the right, to use these licenses only during your membership.

Hi nick_Anang,
Were you able to renew your "Legacy Gold" membership status?
Is there any new/specific requirements to meet?
Thanks!

Dear LicensingConcierge1
Following other threads related to this topic including comments with MS official replies and based https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/solutions-partner-faq your reply seem to be not correct, and so I have to disagree that we will not be able to renew our Legacy Benefits on our anniversary.
Kindly asking to review your reply and revert back. Staying at your disposal to provide any further details from my end.
Best regards,
Nick
