Employment verification failed - Fix Now - Not Working
Fix Now button does nothing, or at least not as pictured in your own guide article. Account Verification side-screen is NOT showing up after clicking on the Fix Now button, as depicted the image in your own article. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/enroll/verification-responses Fix Now button just restarts the process of verification, which fails constantly, without specifying what is wrong. This is an issue that needs to be resolved by Microsoft, there are multiple such reports.
Unable to pass Employment Verifcation step in Partner Center
Hello everyone, I am stuck at the Employment Verification step while trying to enroll in the Microsoft Partner Center. I have already submitted the required documents, including the domain invoice and the assignment letter, but Microsoft responded with: "Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification." This leaves me very confused, as the reply does not explain what exactly is missing or what additional documents are required. I have carefully checked the documentation, but there is no clear guidance. As a company focusing on IT security, this is extremely frustrating. We recently shifted from Linux to Windows development, and without a Microsoft Partner account we are unable to proceed with building kernel-level antivirus solutions for our users. This has a devastating impact on our business. Could anyone please share their experience or advise on what specific documents or requirements Microsoft usually expects in order to pass Employment Verification? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Legal-entities and sub-units in Microsoft Partner Center terms
Hi, I represent several partners with Microsoft, and we are fast growing. In our enterprise, we do as several others, we move around locations, merge them, and restructure to improve efficiency and quality. Recently Microsoft also notified us to update and improve several of our MPN/CSP identifiers with updated information, which resulted in this post about missing features and hidden Microsoft data not available in Partner Center. Starting out as a partner, you add your company in Partner Center, creating your PGA and first PLA account. Your PGA now refers to your legal entity, and your PLA is now a sub-unit under your PGA. So far so good (for a CSP business, you have your PGA be the MPN id and your PLA the CSP id). As time goes by, your business grows and you start buying other MS partner companies. In comes account merge in partner center to the rescue. This will merge your MPN (not CSP, I know, atleast not in terms of your GDAP or customer relationships, but everything else), so that all your competencies, reports and information is updated accordingly. The company you have bought and merged now still has their CSP business, but reporting under your PGA. Both their original PGA and PLA accounts are now PLA under you PGA. So far this seems to be good, but now you are missing out on some data hidden internally in Microsoft, that is nowhere to be seen, and impossible to update: this original merged PGA still refers to the original legal-entity, and the PLA is still NOT connected to your PGA, but the original PGA, which is now a PLA under your PGA. So, something like, Your PGA --> The merged PGA (which is now a PLA) --> The merged PLA. Confused yet? Now, this merged company should at some point in time become something else, maybe a department or separate location of your company. Or maybe you even move that as a department or location below some other company you have in your enterprise portfolio. Now comes the headache of updating your CSP - PLA identifiers with correct legal information. There is currently nowhere you can read what PLA id-s are considered as legal entities, and nowhere your PLA says which legal entity they are connected to. Even filing this with MS partner support is a no-go, this information is hidden so far behind support/MCAIPP/CSP/direct/indirect/vetting/engineering/developers and god knows what, that it is currently not possible to update any of it. Not even getting to read the structure of the identifiers is possible. I hope Microsoft can understand this is a big compliance issue over time. How many tax forms or payout accounts do you need? How many are using the same legal info for the same tax forms? Regardless of being a direct or indirect partner, who should really receive the bill? Who ends up as the owner of the different agreements? (I know this usually works out one way or another, but how many hours could have been saved on partner support if this was not a headache?) We need to be able to see where each identifier is connected in terms of sub-units and legal-entities. Whether by self-service or MS partner support, we need to be able to provide updates on this structure. We need to be able to change any PLA between being a legal entity or a sub-unit, and telling which legal-entity owns the sub-unit or parent legal-entity. Different partners have different setups, we have an enterprise setup where one company fully owns all the others and plan to fully merge them within a single legal entity, but still owned by the enterprise. Others have separate companies working together sharing Microsoft competencies and benefits under one umbrella. Having a way to let Microsoft know about structural changes and having this information visible and correct in partner center is crucial when working as a partner over time. Bonus tip: Most countries, even Norway has officially available records on all companies registered, on official website or by official APIs - by looking up any company registration id, you can have the 100% accurate information for all legal entities, and all sub-units, we even give you the company registration id inside partner center for your benefit.Microsoft Store Developer registration

Hardware programme Active and Authorized but dashboard says account deactivated — support catch-22
Our company’s Windows Hardware Developer Program enrollment appears to be stuck in an inconsistent backend state. Current status: Developer Legal Business Profile vetting: Authorized Hardware programme: Active EV code-signing certificate: Active Correct Microsoft Entra tenant linked Windows publisher ID assigned Signed-in user is a Global Administrator No outstanding verification action or “Fix now” option is displayed However, opening the Hardware Dashboard returns: “Access restricted. We’re sorry, you don’t have permission to access this page because your Partner Center account has been deactivated.” This creates a support catch-22. The authenticated Help + support workflow requires a workspace selection, but no Hardware workspace is available because Hardware Dashboard access is deactivated. Following Microsoft’s guidance for users who cannot access an enrolled Hardware account, we submitted the external “Provide issue details” form. A support request number was issued, but we have received only the automated confirmation. Because the request was created outside the authenticated Partner Center workflow, it is not visible under My requests or Organization requests. We need access only to submit two company-internal Windows network-driver packages for Microsoft attestation signing. We are not requesting Windows Update distribution. Could a Microsoft community manager please help route the existing support request to the Hardware Developer Program enrollment/provisioning team? The support-request number, correlation ID, Seller ID, User ID and screenshots can be provided privately. Please check whether the Hardware workspace requires backend reinstatement or reprovisioning. All visible company verification and certificate checks are already complete.Vetting rejected 4 times, identical canned replies, no Fix Now, Program Not Found
We are stuck in a loop that Microsoft support is not fixing, and each closure comes with the exact same copy-paste line, no diagnostic detail, no path forward. Legal Info shows Vetting Status: Rejected, no Fix Now button anywhere on the page (screenshot 1). Verification Summary returns "Program Not Found — No current profile found for this program" (screenshot 2). Tax and Program pages are inaccessible from the same account. This is an existing account with two live Azure Marketplace offers already published, not a fresh signup. We have submitted four separate appeals. All four were closed with the same templated response, word for word: Ticket 2608130040002080: "We've reviewed your appeal for verification. Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification. We have closed your application. If you decide to reapply, please review the information at https://aka.ms/CSPVerification and http://aka.ms/PartnerVerification to ensure you meet the latest requirements." Ticket 2608140040001403: "We've reviewed your appeal for verification. Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification. We have closed your application." Ticket 2608190040002484: "We've reviewed your appeal for verification. Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification. We have closed your application. If you decide to reapply, please review the information at https://aka.ms/CSPVerification and http://aka.ms/PartnerVerification to ensure you meet the latest requirements." Not one of these responses names a single missing document, a single mismatched field, or a single requirement we have failed to meet. "The information you have provided" is never specified. There is no Fix Now button to submit anything against, and Verification Summary does not even acknowledge the program exists. We are being asked to "reapply" against a process that gives no indication of what to change. Four appeals, four identical form letters, zero actionable detail. This is not a verification process, it is a wall. We need someone from Vetting Operations to state plainly what specifically is failing on this legal entity, or to escalate this out of the templated-response queue entirely. Happy to provide Seller ID, tenant ID, and all four ticket numbers again by DM if that speeds this up.
FY27 MCI Compliance
Dear team, The MCI workshop guidance directs partners to deliver demos using this link: https://demos.microsoft.com. However our team do not have access and we have all individually requested access weeks ago with no luck. This is now blocking us delivering an Agent 365 MCI. The support button also has an error page. Please could someone help? MCI Ts&Cs documentation: "To go through the demonstrations, log-in into the Microsoft Demos platform at following URL with your corporate account: https://demos.microsoft.com. In the Search box type “Agent 365”. If the audience is new to Microsoft Agent 365 or has only a basic understanding of it, start with the “Introducing Microsoft Agent 365 - The Control Plane for your Agents” demonstration, then use the more focused demonstrations to deep dive into specific functionality." Many thanks, Brigid, Condatis.com
Employment Verification passed on one account but rejected on another
We have two Partner Center accounts for the same legal entity. On the first account, Employment Verification passed. On the second account, created for the same company with the same contact person, Employment Verification has now been rejected. Nothing differs between the two in terms of the person or the company. Same individual, same company domain email address, same legal entity, same registry documents. The bigger problem is that I cannot respond to the rejection. The step shows as Pending Partner Action, but the Resolve panel presents no document type selector, no upload field and no other control. It only repeats the confirmation message from an earlier business document submission. So the portal is waiting on an action it gives me no way to perform. The estimated completion date has slipped three times. Has anyone seen Employment Verification decided differently for the same person across two accounts? And is there a known reason the Resolve panel would come up empty when a step is marked Pending Partner Action?
Blocked by Runs on Trust — Ref 715-123160, no workspace created
Enrollment blocked with: "Microsoft runs on trust. We engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes; as a result your request was blocked." Reference number: 715-123160 Transaction ID: 9bf03e8b-5d2a-4ce3-a00e-325c84188bb3 Correlation ID: eaf15fab-ace6-43d2-a2cc-d40c00106c23 No Partner Center workspace was created, so I can't raise a standard support ticket. Requesting escalation to the Vetting/Trust & Safety team for manual review.
