Re: BTC 3 enrollment eligibility
Enrolment to the BTC3 would involve the customer purchasing sufficient cloud promo licenses at day 1 to meet the minimum spend, equal or greater than their annual EP renewal. If at enrolment this means the customer only needs to buy 40 cloud licenses (at the discounted price) to meet the minimum spend, then up to 4 cloud licenses at full price, could be purchased as a trial/test/PoC before then enrolling in BTC3. Then they could ramp up the promo licenses in stages. You need to calculate the minimum number of licenses to enrol, and that will give you the 10%.Re: How to obtain a new partner integration sandbox license
I understand the Partner Center Sandbox is available only to CSP Direct partner and CSP Providers, not Indirect partners. We have been a direct partner for many years and have always had the sandbox tenant. I am not aware of any license required to activate it and have never had to renew any license. The integrations require an App Registration and appropriate key which may need to be renewed periodically. Is this what you mean by license? I recommend you raise a support request from your production Partner Center tenant.Re: CSP relationship scenarios
Microsoft recommendation is that a partner's CSP business is set up using a separate tenant than their primary/corporate tenant. This being that you can then be a CSP customer for your corporate tenant and buy licenses from another Direct/Indirect partner. The Microsoft Partner Agreement still applies in that you cannot (or rather should not) for compliance and T&C purposes sell licenses to your corporate tenant from your CSP partner business tenant.Re: Partner Center API: Getting subscription usage count
I use this endpoint to get the list of licenses in the customer tenant and the availability data, then try and tie them back to the subscriptions we provide. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/developer/get-a-list-of-available-licenses The challenge being the licensed product in the customer tenant is a container that could be made up of multiple subscriptions. Some from Microsoft direct and some from other partners. That's why the subscription endpoint cannot give you availability data.Re: Bridge to Cloud Promo query
There are quite a few eligibility requirements including active BREP/EP for the on-premises product. I would recommend you raise a support request to be confident the customer meets the requirements, before confirming to the customer and placing the order. In the Bridge to Cloud 2 FAQ, it does state this, which "suggests" if the customer has already purchased through an EA, they may still be eligible. Please do not take this as a positive that you can. New customer on cloud product. Customer must not have previously purchased the same online product via legacy CSP or NCE. https://dynamicspartners.transform.microsoft.com/download/protected?assetname=assets%2FBridge%20to%20the%20Cloud%202%20Promo%20Policy%20and%20FAQ.pdf&protected=1Re: D365 Business Central - Environments
Hi, To my knowledge only the Premium, Essential, Device and Team Member licenses are available using the BTTC2 promotion. And as this is technically an addition to an existing, rather than new, tenant implementation you would need to provide the customer with a full priced BC Additional Environment add-on license.Re: Bridge 2 Cloud- Migrating CSP Partner During Term
For the version 1 legacy Bridge 2 Cloud offers, these are not available for new purchases. I do not believe you would be able to action a transfer between CSP partners in this case. I would suggest raising a support request with Microsoft to explain and ask the question if this is the case. For the newer, NCE, version 2 of Bridge to Cloud. These are 3-year commitments and being NCE can be transferred with the promotion intact.
