24 Topics- FY26 CSP Incentives - Ann/Mon & Mon/Mon SubscriptionsDear community, We are a Distributor (ex. Ind. Provider) in CSP and we would like you to help us on understanding the changes in our Incentives in FY26. As announced already, starting October 1, 2025, the FY26 levers and rates will be in place. We would like your assistance to determine the two following use case: a) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with monthly commitment and monthly payment. Within September 2025, this specific subscription will give us incentives under the FY25 levers and rates (will be recalculated in February 2026 under the FY26 levers and rates). So, based on the announcement, on October 2025, this subscription will start generating incentives under the FY26 levers and rates. Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly? b) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with annual commitment and monthly payment, with the renewal of the subscription to be on 15 March 2026. Based on our understanding, until the renewal, this subscription will be generating incentives based on the FY25 levers and rates due to the price protection of the subscription for the whole year, and will switch on generating incentives based on the FY26 levers and rates on the renewal date (i.e., 15 March 2026). Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly? Really much appreciated in advance for your significant help on this critical topic for our target setting and business decisions.

- Azure Consumption / Microsoft CSP Maximum EarningHi Everyone, We're working through our Microsoft focused sales plan, and I have a couple of questions around the Maximum earning potential for each of these incentive programmes. CSP NCE Maximum incentive earning opportunity = $93,750. Maximum earning opportunity per customer tenant ID, per product group, per lever, per partner Does this mean that per any given customer transacting with us as an indirect reseller, can earn upto $93,750 or is this a per partner limit where our entire business can only earn upto $93,750? Azure Consumption Maximum incentive earning opportunity = $80k USD Maximum Earning Opportunities at per engagement term, per partner, per subscription level Same question as above, is this a limit for our entire company or per any given subscription for any given customer? Thanks for your help!149Views0likes2Comments

- There are no benefits to being a MS PartnerThe absolute absurdity of being a Microsoft Partner is beyond insanity. Some of us have built businesses around the Microsoft Ecosystem (STUPIDLY I MUST ADD). And for what? For Microsoft to block us from our accounts and give zero explanation of the issue? As I am sure others have seen since there are posts everywhere of other people having the same issues, its mind blowing that Microsoft does nothing to assist its partners who are the ones generating them the revenue. Supporting their crappy products over and over and over again being the ones on the front lines getting beat up by their customers because of constant outages, constant issues. Back in September my account was blocked. Not one bit of an explanation. Not one email telling me why. The only thing I got was a notice saying my visual studio enterprise license was removed. Upon checking I couldn't find anything. I open a support ticket. And so far, the only thing I have been told is my account has been blocked. Yet not one person can apparently tell me why? Not one person can tell me what I need to do to fix it? Not one person can even get on the phone to assist on this. Before I lost numerous customers because of this. I was selling 30k a month in licenses. And now because my account was blocked, I have lost access to a crap ton of my development, I have lost access to any and all of the benefits. I have lost access to basically everything even though when you look at my partner center account. Every single thing still shows active / approved. Etc. My suggestion, if you are considering becoming a Microsoft Partner. DONT. SIMPLE AS THAT. The fact they can block you from doing business, block access to products and services you have paid for. And give you zero ability to fix it so you lose numerous customers and don't even tell you what happened or what needs to be done to rectify the issue. Partnering with Microsoft is the single biggest mistake I have made as a business owner. The second biggest would be that I built my development side of the business fully integrated into the MS ecosystem. Which made it so they cost me countless amounts of money and ability to even do business with my customers.432Views2likes1Comment
- Cpor Microsoft Information protectionHi, I have notices an issue recently that all of our cpor claims for Microsoft Informaton Protection shows as 0 paid avialiable units and 0 Monthly Active Users. Even though the customers have licenses that includes MIP and have MIP deployed. Have any one else experianced this problem and how have did you solved it? So far Microsoft haven't been that helpful. For us it's really important with these cpor claims in regards to our partnerships with Microsoft. Br, Henrik407Views0likes9Comments
- How "Maximum Earning Opportunity" in Incentives works?Dear community, We would like your prompt and precious support on helping us understand how the Maximum earning opportunity (MEO) works. Fyi, we are an Indirect Provider in SP program. We have one of our biggest bids, that includes a pleathora of Microsoft 365 E3. M365 E3 is coming with 2 types of incentives, "Core" & "Global SPA T1". Following the latest file "CSP Indirect Provider Incentives Guide (1January2025)", M365 E3 has a MEO threshold of $118,750 for the "Core " type of incentive, while it also has MEO threshold of $125,000 for the second one, the "Global spa – Tier 1" incentive for Innovate markets. The questions: could you please help us understand how the MEO is being calculated and used? Does these MEOs are being summed up as part of our project (per customer tenant and/or per partner) offering a total of $243.750 ($118,750+$125,000) or are they being calculated separately per incentive type, setting the limit to the aforementioned thresholds? Kindly asking for a prompt response on this in order to make our decision on the proposal. Thank you so much in advance! Warm regards, NickSolved286Views0likes3Comments
- Non-Incentivized Recognition - CPOR ClaimsHello, I hope this is the right discussion group for this. Could someone please tell me if the non-incentivized recognitions for CPOR Claims (both revenue association and usage association) means the recognition is reflected in the scoring for Solutions Partner Designation? If not, in what way is the association recognized? Thank you in advance.112Views0likes1Comment
- Com a finalização do Action Pack, benefícios como licenças do Win10/11 e Office 2019 não existirão?Atualmente temos assinatura do action pack. Acho muito interessante porque fornece licenças de windows 10/11 além de algumas licenças de office 2019. Elas atendem muito bem ao meu cenário atual. Meu período de renovação chegou e estava avaliando aqui as novas ofertas de inscrição, entre elas a Partner Launch Benefits e Partner Success Core Benefits, entretanto, não vi na lista de benefícios esses que mencionei. Vi que teve alguns benefícios novos que são muito interessantes também, por exemplo, no Partner Success Core Benefits, as licenças de Visual Studio Pro saltam de 3 para 8 mas recursos como as licenças de windows e de office também eram muito atrativas. Essas licenças não serão oferecidas mesmo ou terá algum pacote que oferecerá? ENGLISH TRANSLATION: ------------------------------ We currently have a subscription to the action pack. I find it very interesting because it provides licenses of windows 10/11 in addition to some licenses of office 2019. They fit my current scenario very well. My renewal period arrived and I was evaluating here the new enrollment offers, including Partner Launch Benefits and Partner Success Core Benefits, however, I did not see in the list of benefits these I mentioned. I saw that there were some new benefits that are very interesting too, for example, in the Partner Success Core Benefits, Visual Studio Pro licenses jump from 3 to 8 but features such as windows and office licenses were also very attractive. Will these licenses not be offered anyway or will there be some package that will offer?Solved428Views0likes6Comments
- CSP incentives and Fabric reservationHello, I would like to know if, in the current incentive model for CSP resellers, the Fabric 1-year reservation (as opposed to Pay-as-you-go) should be included in the 'Azure Reservation and Savings Plan Incentive' lever or the basic 'Azure consumption CSP motion' lever of the Azure CSP motion incentive engagement. The guide says: Azure Reservation and Savings Plan Incentive (Includes PTUs , ACR from Reserved Instance, and Azure Savings Plan consumption) We can easily imagine that a VM in RI is included in this, but I would like to make sure for Fabric. Thanks.Solved235Views1like2Comments
