Azure Plan CSP Pricelist Download
Dear community, Hope you are doing great. We are a Distributor (ex. Indirect Provider) and we recently discovered a change in terms of Pricing in Partner Center, and more specifically when it comes to Azure Plan Pricelists download. Usually, we were able to download the respective Azure Plan pricelist as a Category under the NCE option. However, what we see now is an option in Beta which redirects us to the Azure Portal. Could you please be so kind to help us identify how will we be able to download the CSV Azure Plan Pricelists as we were doing couple months ago? Thank you so much in advance for your assistance! NickAZ-900 - Correct Lab Usage?
Hello, The Courseware Title Plan Courseware Title Plan | Microsoft Community Hub lists Microsoft Learn as the correct source for labs for AZ-900. However, as some of us know, it was unceremoniously cut. What is the correct method for labs for this class now? Also my followup question which I feel like I have asked before but get a new answer each time- Can a TSP/MCT decide they dont want to use labs because it costs money? Or if a lab is listed in the title plan, are they expected to use it to be KPI eligible?Azure Plan NCE Pricelist Download

TSP Renewal – Can Purchase Option Be Available After Membership Expiry?
If a Training Services Partner did not purchase exam vouchers in the last 12 months and the renewal date is 18th February 2026, but they complete the other two requirements and purchased 200 vouchers in February 2026, the dashboard will update only next month. Since there is a 30-day grace period (also got expired), the membership may expire before the dashboard updates. In this case, once the data updates in March, can the partner still renew the membership? Will the purchase/renewal option still be available after expiry? Or do they need to follow a different re-enrollment process? Please advise.Building an AI solution is just the first step - turning it into revenue is where real growth begins

Does anyone know if Microsoft Dynamics Sequences are in the On Premises Version of Dynamics 365 CE ?
We have an enterprise customer that uses Dynamics 365 CE On Premises (2104 9.1.18.22) and wishes to use Sequences (not all the customer Insights, but just sequences) and is asking if there is something they need to install to get it for the On Premises version
How to get initial access to partner centre? I am lost
Hi, I registered on partner centre a week ago, filled out details of my business and it said wait for verification. After it, I cant see any status in "Overview" of my verification process or do anything in partner centre. Few days back I got emails for Entra recommendations but nothing from partner centre. I tried creating support ticket but it asks for workspace ID and I dont have it therefore can't create any support ticket. Can anyone tell me how to get around it? Or the solution is to just wait? I just dont want to wait for 2 weeks and then get to know that something was pending on me.
Net Customer Adds - encouraging the wrong culture?
We're a Microsoft Partner that focuses on delivering excellent service to our SMB clients. This involves making sure they're as secure and compliant as they can be, and that they understand how to use the vast array of modern workplace tools to maximum advantage. Our primary Solutions Partner Designation is therefore Modern Work (SMB). Our staff are keen on learning so we have maximum points for intermediate and advanced certifications. We are continuously helping our clients to exploit the modern work tools so deployment scores are excellent. We also help our clients ensure those tools are adopted into the everyday flow of work so usage growth is huge. BUT, given our focus is implementing more Microsoft workloads into existing customers, rather than adding more customers, our Net Customer Adds score is 0, putting our designation at risk (as you have to score points in every area to renew). I do feel we're effectively being penalised by Microsoft for concentrating on helping clients get the most out of their offerings, rather than just selling licenses. And after raising this with them, it sounds like there's nothing we can do other than simply keep our fingers crossed that a month of high net customer adds drops off the rolling 12 month window before our renewal date for us to maintain our designation. The skilling, deployment, and usage requirements all make sense as they're about providing a good service and ensuring adoption by the end customer, but net customer adds clearly puts selling over service which isn't our culture or business model (or that of many smaller partners). In chatting to other partners, many are choosing not to renew their SPD's for similar reasons so I'm hoping the relevant decision makers will listen to this feedback and review the scoring.

As part of the February 13 expansion to Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program benefits offerings—including partner benefits packages, ISV Success packages, Solutions Partner designations, and specializations—Microsoft has updated developer benefits included in the partner program, along with how these benefits are accessed. The Visual Studio license included in all benefits offerings is now exclusively Visual Studio Enterprise IDE. This updated license includes many existing benefits such as Dometrain, Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Concierge chat, and more, but some key changes have been made to deliver a more secure, compliant, and higher value experience for partners. The per-user monthly Azure credits have been replaced with Azure bulk credits at the organization level, accessible through the Partner Center benefits dashboard; this pooled model gives partners great flexibility with credit allocation while better aligning with Microsoft Azure development needs and reducing unused credits. Additionally, access to some legacy on-premises software downloads and transferrable product keys will no longer be included in partner program developer benefits to support clearer entitlement boundaries; these entitlements remain available through appropriate licensing channels. It’s important to note that these changes apply only to partner program benefits accessed through the Visual Studio subscription portal and do not affect paid Visual Studio subscriptions or SKUs. These changes were enacted to ensure that partners can better utilize Azure credits across teams, promote compliant use of partner program benefits, and simplify benefits management while preserving access to core developer tools. It may require a change management plan, so we encourage you to develop one. Microsoft remains deeply committed to our partners and to continuing to invest in your success and growth by regularly reviewing and updating benefits to support customer impact and innovation. Please review the Microsoft Learn page for full details on this update and download the benefits guide for a full list of updated benefits.
