1 TopicExtended Security Updates in CSP
Hi Community, We are an Indirect Provider and we need to clarify our options regarding Extended Security Updates through the CSP channel. Even though I have not found an official Microsoft announcement on this, https://www.quexcel.com/knowledge-base/knowledge-base/microsoft-extended-security-updates-become-available-to-smbs/ refers that and i quote "Starting September 2023, Microsoft will offer the Extended Security Updates for Windows Server 2012/2012R2 as well as SQL Server 2012 as a month-by-month Pay-as-you-Go option. Customers will need to enroll their applicable servers in Azure Arc and do need to have an Azure subscription as a payment mechanism (this can be an Azure subscription through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Partner). With this new option, Extended Security Updates finally come into reach of SMB customers. For pricing, aim at 75% of the license price per year, divided by 12 for a rough indication of the monthly price. Exact pricing will be published in September on the Azure website". This is a really critical point for us. Could you please enlight us when and how we will be able to utilize this new ESU PAYG option via CSP? Thank you in advance for your significant input.
