215 TopicsTransitioning from Direct Bill to Indirect Reseller
I am sharing our experience regarding transition from DB to IR started 4 months ago to understand the better approach to manage our partner centers in the future. We started transitioning from Direct Bill to Indirect Reseller in November 2025. We currently have: one PGA with two different associated CSP PLAs: Direct Bill PLA and Indirect Reseller PLA. We operate with two different Partner Centers: "first" PC used for the PGA and the Direct Bill PLA "second" used for the Indirect Reseller PLA At the moment, everything is working correctly, as we are actively transferring customers from the Direct Bill model to the Indirect Reseller model, Incentives for the Indirect Reseller (PLA IR) are being received correctly, designations are managed under the PGA tenant, ecc. Regarding TTM, we exceed the 1M‑dollar requirement, but only at the PGA level, as it currently includes both DB and IR revenue. Do you know whether Microsoft requires the 1M‑dollar threshold to be met at the PGA level by combining DB and IR revenue, or if only DB revenue counts for maintaining Direct Bill status? Our other question concerns the end of the customers migration, considering that the Direct Bill PLA will eventually become restricted or revoked. Whether it is recommended to continue using two separate Partner Centers, first for Membership, Incentives, Designations, Earnings, and overall partner management and the second exclusively for CSP Tier-2 customer management. Or whether you suggest alternative or better scenarios for managing the Partner Center structure once the transition is fully completed. Tks for feedback and information. FabrizioSolvedMicrosoft Hardware Program Enroll
Team, I am trying to enroll in the Microsoft Hardware Program through Partner Center. The enrollment itself is failing/stuck. Your responses are repeatedly asking me to upload the EV certificate and referring to the standard documentation. However, the EV certificate upload option is NOT visible in my portal currently. As per the enrollment flow: Hardware Program enrollment must first complete successfully. Only after successful enrollment does the EV certificate association/upload option become available. Since the enrollment itself is not completing, I cannot proceed to the EV certificate step. I already followed the shared documentation before opening the ticket. Please review this as a backend enrollment issue instead of an EV certificate upload issue. I request you to: Verify my Hardware Program enrollment status from backend Check whether the account/program is partially provisioned Confirm whether the EV certificate step is being incorrectly enforced before enrollment completion Escalate this case to the Partner Center / Hardware Dev Center backend team I have already opened multiple tickets over the last month and received the same generic response repeatedly without resolution. Please review the actual portal state instead of sharing the same article again Ticket numbers: 2605040040001840 2604090040002224 2604290040001239 Error Code: unable to register Microsoft hardware program. getting this error Something went wrong. Please contact support. (ReferenceId: 351839c0-b44a-49df-08ec-08de913793cc) ThanksAccount 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.Why is the Microsoft partner support so pathetic.
We have been raising support requests through Partner Center, but the resolutions we receive from the support team are often just links to publicly available documentation that we can already access ourselves. If we were able to fully understand and resolve the issue through those articles, there would be no need to contact support in the first place. It seems the third-party support team does not fully understand the concern being raised, and the responses are usually generic line items with documentation links, which is not acceptable. How do we get beyond these front line partner support team and connect with actual partner teams from Microsoft to get the issues resolved. I’m not sure if other partners are also facing similar experiences with Partner Support, unresolved issues, or inadequate responses.Solved71Views1like2CommentsEnrollment blocked by automated trust check - request manual Vetting review (Ref 715-123160)
Hello Partner Compliance team, My company's enrollment in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program was automatically blocked at the "Company information" step. The portal returned "Your request has been blocked" with no actionable detail. I retried after updating my Entra tenant organization name, and the block returned with the exact same reference number, which suggests a stable hold on the account rather than a re-evaluation. I am requesting an escalation to the Partner Center Vetting / Trust & Safety team for a manual review and reset of my blocked enrollment, so I can complete company verification. I have our official company registration document (Kbis) available on request.

Thank you for your help.CSP account suspended without notice, no explanation given. What are my options?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in the community or perhaps someone from Microsoft can help me understand what happened and what I can do next. I've been a Microsoft partner since 2019, and last January I renewed my Partner Success Core Benefits program. A few months later, I discovered my CSP account had been suspended with no prior notification whatsoever. I opened a support ticket, and the response I received cited section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Program Agreement, essentially stating that Microsoft can terminate a partner relationship with 30 days' notice and is not required to provide a reason. I understand this is contractually possible but I received no notice, and no explanation. After re-opening the case multiple times, I was told to enroll into a new tenant with a new enrollment. I attempted this, but it did not work. When I followed up, I received copy-paste responses directing me back to the same steps. To summarize where I am right now: Partner since 2019, with renewed subscriptions as recently as January Account suspended and no advance notice received No explanation provided, citing section 4.b of the agreement New tenant enrollment suggested but unsuccessful Support has been non-responsive beyond templated replies I'm not here to argue, I accept that Microsoft has the right to make decisions about its partner ecosystem. What I'm asking for is basic transparency: did I do something wrong? If there was a compliance issue, a policy violation, or any other reason for the suspension, I would genuinely like to know so I can understand and, if possible, address it. I also have some practical questions the community may be able to help with: Is there a formal appeal or review process for suspended partner accounts? Is new enrollment genuinely possible after a termination under 4.b, and if so, what are the correct steps? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to resolve it constructively? Is there an escalation path beyond the standard support ticket process? I know I'm a small partner and this is likely a minor matter from Microsoft's perspective. But for a small business that has invested years in this program and renewed in good faith just months ago, this situation has had a real impact. A clear explanation, even a difficult one would go a long way. Any guidance, shared experiences, or pointers to the right escalation channel would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Partner Center Enrollment Blocked – Trust Code 715-123160 – Requesting Manual Review

Hello. I’m an individual developer for Microsoft apps since the old days of Windows Mobile 6.5 , Windows Phone, Windows 8,8.1 , 10 and now 11. I’m a registered individual developer since 2008 (yeah, that’s correct, 16 years). I have published over 50+ different applications for different platforms. Windows desktop, MS Edge extension developer, Azure dev etc… Since last month, I received some app removal of some old apps I had in MS Store (all of them 100%). After a communication with the report app team they explained what I must don’t do and I started updating the problematic apps according their instructions. But, suddenly, yesterday a got an email that my account is removed and to read the ADA (application developer agreement). I already contact by email the reportapp Team to try to fix this and to restore my account. Can someone from MS explain to me this “behavior “ . Is this something personal against me? I don’t make any problems, I just dev apps , focus only on MS products, and provide them almost always for free, without any subscriptions or costs. I have build a personal ecosystem around my partnership with MS . Developing but using also Azure monthly subscriptions (heavily costed). My developer name: Mobility in life applicationsIdentity Verification Rejected Twice – No Fix Now Button - ISV Success
