CSP Indirect Reseller enrollment deactivated + can't open a support ticket
Hello, My partner account (company LIS-INFO, France) has a legal verification status of Authorized as of today, on both the Partner and Reseller profiles. However, when I try to enroll in the Cloud Solution Provider – Indirect Reseller program (via aka.ms/accounts/varEnrollment or via "Other programs" in Account Settings), I consistently get the message: "This program registration has been deactivated for your account." I also notice that the "Customers" workspace shows "Access not granted" under Account Settings > My access, which is consistent with the CSP enrollment being deactivated. I believe this may be related to an earlier partnership application that failed before my current application was approved. I have been unable to submit a support ticket through the normal Partner Center channel — the "Contact support" flow gets stuck on an infinite loading spinner, across multiple attempts over several weeks (different browsers, different sessions). This is why I'm posting here instead. This is currently blocking me from establishing a distributor relationship with my indirect provider (ALSO), who has confirmed they cannot resolve this on their end since the block is on my Partner Center account, not on the distributor relationship itself. I'd be happy to share my Partner/MPN IDs privately with anyone from Microsoft who can help look into this. Thank you for your help.CSP August 2026 Monthly Partner Update

Account Suspended Despite Compliance – Seeking Clarification and Reinstatement
Hello Microsoft Community, My company’s Partner Center account currently shows a Suspended status for both the Indirect Reseller and Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider programs, even though we believe we’ve met all requirements. What we’ve done: Completed all security requirements (MFA enabled, security contact designated) Verified business and legal information is up to date Ensured there are no outstanding payments or compliance issues We received a notice about CSP indirect reseller eligibility (USD 1,000 revenue requirement), but our partner confirms our license spend exceeds this threshold. Our questions: Why is the account still suspended if we’ve addressed the stated requirements? Is there a hidden or unaddressed compliance issue? What specific steps must we follow to have the suspension lifted? Can Microsoft reinstate the account once we provide evidence of compliance? We’re unable to perform critical operations like assigning licenses or accessing partner benefits while suspended. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Any guidance from Microsoft moderators or the community would be greatly appreciated.
CSP 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.
Customer CUSTOMER_NAME notified of anomalous activity in Azure subscription
How do others feel about the alerts showing up in the Partner Center? We’ve detected suspicious or malicious activity in this Azure subscription. The customer of this subscription has been notified. What suspicious or malicious activity did microsoft detect you ask? An important security update is available for your Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) resource(s). That's right, there is no suspicious or malicious activity. Microsoft wants people to install an out of band security update and thought sending a notification to all azure customers was the best way to ensure that happened. Half the clients that received this alert aren't even running windows servers! Those that are running windows servers do not have the WSUS role installed. All the clients Microsoft alerted us about to suspicious activity in their subscriptions... Don't use WSUS We did have the pleasure of manually closing every single alert as "ignore" and I'm delighted to know that these alerts didn't count towards the security requirement to have an avg response time of less than 24h. I thought the partner security alerts were to notify us of critical issues microsoft detected in azure subscriptions. This, does not appear to be that. Am I missing something? thoughts?experiences with “MS incentives new experience”
Dear Microsoft, dear fellow partners, Please find below first experiences with the new "incentives experience" where the annual incentives guide was replaced with a website. This fine product can be found at: https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/ Site only shows a video, no matter which link you click. We want text, not video. I want the CSP M365 incentives info, not that video overlay again. 2. Site refers to a ‘product addendum’ but no such is found in the guide itself (it is in the MCI collection on OpsReadiness luckily - https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/microsoft-commerce-incentive-product-addendum.xlsx ) 3. The MCI collection (https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/asset/collection/microsoft-commerce-incentive-resources#/) links to various files/links. The link to the FY27 coop guide is broken ☹ (https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/fy27-co-op/how-to-use-the-co-op-guidebook) p- luckily the definitions of what cannot be found are present (at https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/additional-terms-and-definitions/glossary-cooperative-marketing-funds) 4. There are no rates mentioned in the website/download of the guide. For CSP you would need to view the MSFY27 documentation in collection mentioned earlier we eagerly await an updated & improved version of this site!experiences with “MS incentives new experience”
