CSP account suspended without notice, no explanation given. What are my options?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in the community or perhaps someone from Microsoft can help me understand what happened and what I can do next. I've been a Microsoft partner since 2019, and last January I renewed my Partner Success Core Benefits program. A few months later, I discovered my CSP account had been suspended with no prior notification whatsoever. I opened a support ticket, and the response I received cited section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Program Agreement, essentially stating that Microsoft can terminate a partner relationship with 30 days' notice and is not required to provide a reason. I understand this is contractually possible but I received no notice, and no explanation. After re-opening the case multiple times, I was told to enroll into a new tenant with a new enrollment. I attempted this, but it did not work. When I followed up, I received copy-paste responses directing me back to the same steps. To summarize where I am right now: Partner since 2019, with renewed subscriptions as recently as January Account suspended and no advance notice received No explanation provided, citing section 4.b of the agreement New tenant enrollment suggested but unsuccessful Support has been non-responsive beyond templated replies I'm not here to argue, I accept that Microsoft has the right to make decisions about its partner ecosystem. What I'm asking for is basic transparency: did I do something wrong? If there was a compliance issue, a policy violation, or any other reason for the suspension, I would genuinely like to know so I can understand and, if possible, address it. I also have some practical questions the community may be able to help with: Is there a formal appeal or review process for suspended partner accounts? Is new enrollment genuinely possible after a termination under 4.b, and if so, what are the correct steps? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to resolve it constructively? Is there an escalation path beyond the standard support ticket process? I know I'm a small partner and this is likely a minor matter from Microsoft's perspective. But for a small business that has invested years in this program and renewed in good faith just months ago, this situation has had a real impact. A clear explanation, even a difficult one would go a long way. Any guidance, shared experiences, or pointers to the right escalation channel would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.bjclsMay 20, 2026Brass Contributor209Views0likes3CommentsPartner Collaboration – Copilot AI Readiness Sprint (MPN ID: 7110817)

Hi there. I cannot add my TAX ID in the account settings workspace. Or any other place seemingly possible according to the Partner Center AI Assistant help feature, Google articles, and so on. I have followed various instructions for updating my TAX ID but none resemble precisely what I am seeing. I have been trying to resolve this myself for weeks now. I have two support tickets in with MS, have followed them each up in the tickets, all to no avail. I am part of the MAICPP, a CSP etc., and have been for a while. As you can see, my bill information is not linked which may be why I cannot edit/add the TAX ID according to the myriad instructions I've found. BOTTOM LINE: I do not know how to obtain support assistance from MS. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.SolvedacarstensMay 18, 2026Copper Contributor73Views0likes1CommentPartner Center Enrollment Blocked – Trust Code 715-123160 – Requesting Manual Review
Hello Microsoft Partner Community Team, We are attempting to enroll our company in the Microsoft AI Cloud Indirect Seller Program, but our registration is being blocked by the automated trust verification system. We are a legitimate, legally registered business operating in the cloud connectivity industry. Our DUNS number and all company information entered during enrollment are accurate and match our official government records. Error details: Reference Number: 715-123160 Transaction ID: 0e136d6b-9164-41c3-be26-9b301c9aac24 Correlation ID: e827ab99-6dc9-4901-a464-cff43d00f5c7 Due to this block, our Partner Center account has no active workspaces, which means we are completely unable to create a support ticket through the standard Partner Center portal. We have also tried the partner.microsoft.com/support page, but it redirects us back to Partner Center — creating a loop with no resolution. We are kindly requesting: Escalation to the Partner Center Vetting / Trust & Safety team for manual review A reset or unblock of our enrollment so we can complete registration Guidance on any documentation required (business registration, address proof, domain ownership, etc.) — we are ready to provide everything immediately for email contact, please contact the email address we leave on the request (format as: email address removed for privacy reasons) Thank you in advance for your assistance.healtheworldplzMay 04, 2026Copper Contributor33Views0likes0CommentsURGENT: CSP Direct-Bill Termination. Mistakenly. Support Exhausted, Customers at Risk. MSFT, Help
We are a longstanding Microsoft partner (AOS-G and CSP Direct Bill) and urgently need escalation. Our support channels, including GetHelp escalation, have been unable to resolve or explain an unexplained and unwarranted termination notice, and the 30-day clock is running. This directly impacts our mutual customers and if not resolved ASAP. What Happened January 29, 2026: We received a 30-day termination notice stating we have not met CSP direct bill eligibility requirements. We are indeed compliant and believe this is an error. We provided evidence of compliance to Support and GetHelp several times, but no one has been able to identify what requirement we allegedly fail to meet or propose a solution. They continually say they are working on the issue and will get back to us in a couple days. Notably, we did not receive a 90-day or 60-day advance notice as required by Microsoft's documented process for at risk Direct Sell partners. We confirmed via Exchange message trace that no related emails were received in the prior 90 days. January 20: Nine days before the notice, we began receiving Error 715-123220 preventing us from adding new customers in Partner Center, suggesting our capabilities were already restricted before we were even notified. Tickets Needing Escalation #1 — GetHelp #11414107 / Support Request #2602030010000038 CSP Direct Bill termination notice. No substantive response beyond "we are working on it." #2 — GetHelp #11412447 / Support Request #2601200010001797 Error 715-123220 preventing new customer additions since January 20. Same status. Microsoft, please help: We request these tickets be escalated to the appropriate CSP or Legal team for immediate review and to stop the termination process ASAP. Any Microsoft staff who can assist — we would be deeply grateful! Thank you, sincerely. ShaySolvedShayDApr 22, 2026Copper Contributor371Views2likes6CommentsUnified for Partners (UfP)
Hello! A few months ago at Microsoft Ignite, Dan Rippey shared an update on The Future of Partner Support - Customer + Partner + Microsoft. Dan brought 'Unified for Partners' center stage and mentioned that Microsoft is going into listening mode and taking partner feedback. It's easy to share feedback with Microsoft by visiting booths at Ignite. What are some ways partners can share feedback with Dan and others at Microsoft year round? For reference, we have a signed NDA with Microsoft if that helps! My first thought are the two community calls that were running for most of 2025. They were the CSP Technical Training Series and Microsoft Partner Community Q&A Call. However, I don't see any upcoming events scheduled... Thanks! -jonjonwbstr24Apr 20, 2026Iron Contributor426Views3likes18CommentsUnified for Partners (UfP) - Pricing
We are a Microsoft Direct CSP currently purchasing Premier Support for Partners (PSfP). With Premier support we are allowed 30 cases/year and after that you have to pay approx. $650/case. We do a good job of handling issues on our own and only open tickets on our customers behalf as a last resort. We will have approx. 20 cases this year and won't need to purchase any additional. Under (UfP), based on the datasheet released we will qualify for a 40% discount on the Licensing & Azure rates. With the 40% discount our annual costs will increase 8x what we are currently paying. Our cost/case will go up to $12,725(1,800% increase) Is Microsoft trying to put their existing CSPs out of business with this pricing model? We have been driving new business and been a model partner. We have already had to deal with the complications of all of the risk and additional issues brought on by NCE and now we are going to be price gouged for support. The marketing materials are trying to make this look like a benefit to us when in fact it is the complete opposite. Will there be exceptions to this new pricing model? It made a lot more sense to charge CSPs per case they open above the 30 allowed. Why wouldn't Microsoft just increase the cost of the additional cases? This would make CSPs double think about opening a case that they may be able to solve on their own. (UfP) is going to punish the good CSPs by spreading the cost of companies abusing the system across the board. We would love to have the opportunity to express our concerns with a Microsoft representative in the CSP program. We have already made our PDM and Success Manager aware of the impact that this will have.SolvedNickGApr 20, 2026Brass Contributor273Views3likes7CommentsCSP Account suspended without notification, no explanation given
Hello Microsoft Community, I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can point me in the right direction. I have been a Microsoft Partner since 2019. This past January I renewed my Partner Success Core Benefits pack. A couple of weeks ago I noticed I had lost access to all my benefits. I opened a support case, and after going back and forth I still have no resolution. The only explanation I've received is a reference to section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Agreement, which states that either party can terminate the relationship with 30 days' notice and without providing a reason. No notification was ever sent to me. No 30-day notice. I simply woke up one day with no access. At one point I was told I could re-enroll under a new tenant. I tried this, and it didn't work. When I followed up, the support team went back to citing section 4.b and closed the door again. I understand I'm a small partner in Microsoft's ecosystem, but I've invested years building my business around this partnership, renewed my benefits in good faith just a few months ago, and I would love to find a constructive way forward. My questions for the community: 1. **Is there a formal escalation path** beyond standard Partner Center support cases? 2. **Has anyone successfully re-enrolled** after a suspension of this kind, and what was the process? Any guidance, shared experience, or contacts would be enormously appreciated. I am not looking to complain, I just want to understand my options and get back to serving my customers. Thank you in advance.bjclsApr 16, 2026Brass Contributor86Views0likes0CommentsICYMI: Turn upcoming virtualization licensing changes into a growth opportunity
