Need Assistance with Microsoft Action Pack Renewal – Admin Permission Issue
Hello everyone, I've been a user of Microsoft Action Pack for several years, and I usually renew my subscription online without any issues. However, this year, I'm encountering a frustrating problem. When trying to renew, the system blocks me from completing the purchase, saying I need administrator permission to proceed – even though I AM the administrator of my account. I've been contacting Microsoft support for the past two weeks, but unfortunately, I haven't received any helpful response or callback. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi TSI team With the change from Power BI Premium to Fabric Capacity, Power BI Premium is no longer available for nonprofits at a discounted price. Will Fabric Capacity be added to the available grants/discounts in the future? Or will nonprofits have to use their Azure credits and make up the considerable difference? Thanks MattBridge to the Cloud 2 Promo--will it apply on an upgrade?
Good day, We have a customer who has licenses under the Bridge to the Cloud 2 Promo. They recently purchased 8 Commerce Attach licenses with the promo applied to them as well. They would now like to upgrade those 8 Commerce Attach licenses to 20 full Commerce licenses so they can have the free CSU. When I do the upgrade in Partner Center, will the 40% promo apply to the 20 full Commerce licenses? Thank you.

Acronyms in company names
Hi all, I'm running into an issue creating an Microsoft Partner account that I'm wondering if anyone can assist with. My company is called Mega HR, Inc when I try to register the company information I'm told "The company name isn’t valid. Enter a valid legal company name.Learn More" The learn more explains that they restrict acroynms but it's intended for things like "Inc", "LTD", not HR. I've tried removing Inc from my name as well but have determined it is related to "HR" in the name since if I remove it, it doesn't give me the error. Unfortunately though, it's asking for the legal name of the business. Anyone else run into this? Is there somewhere / someone I can reach out to to assist?
