Hello Community! We recently found our ASfP support access disabled. According to the ASfP PSAM team, it's because we have exceeded the case creation allotment. It also appears that there is a discrepancy between the number of non-decremented tickets the PSAM team sees, vs the number of tickets the system says we have associated with the contract adding some additional challenges. We requested a report of the tickets that are counting against the agreement from the PSAM team several months ago, shortly after the ASfP agreement renewed, and are still in the process of locating someone from the PSAM team that can help us with this information. Last year we also identified an issue with the case report provided by our PSAM where the "company name" was things like "AppRiver" which is another partner, not the name of one of our clients, and we ended up generating a report ourselves. My question is this, Is there a way for us to identify the non-technical (Ibiza cases) that are counting against our allotment via APIs or another channel that doesn't involve going through the ASfP PSAM team? Thanks! -jonTrouble receiving OTP emails from Microsoft Partner Center
Hello! When clicking the Verify Email button in the location below, the primary contact email is not receiving the OTP verification email. I'm on my 6th Partner Center support ticket attempting to determine out why I am not receiving these emails. Partner center support is quick to help me verify the account manually, but I would really like to see the automated system working as intended to help future partners avoid running into this same issue. Could someone help me track down the email address these messages are coming from? Thanks! -jon For reference, the first few tickets I opened under the following workspace/topic, but the assigned engineers say "you picked the wrong topic try again." Workspace: Account Settings Topic: Account verification > E-mail ownership I ask what set of options I should pick to get my ticket routed to the right team, but I haven't located someone that can answer that question either. I've started choosing a random workspace and topic in the hopes that I get lucky. I don't think this strategy is going to work very well, but the partner center support team haven't suggested a better approach and I'm out of ideas. Maybe if I open enough tickets, someone on the partner center support team will notice and help me out.Renewals process - issues
Hi Is it only me? I have tried to let Microsoft be aware of this for the last 7 years now.... Upon renewal of the partnership, the partner temporarily loses its Solution Partner status! A status always used by customers in tenders and RFPs (the responding partner must hold x,x and x Solution Partner) How the renewal process still affects partners +2 weeks after renewal: We get information on how to pay on the anniversary date - for us Saturday March 7 (payment term = 1 month) One can´t pay in advance before this date! With the information provided we initiate the payment Monday March 9, and get the verification proof from the bank on March 10. March 10 we then provide the POE in Partner Center Already at the anniversary day (the 9th), the "Customer Letter" we can create in Partner Center AND our Business Profile has the Solution Partner "taken away" for us, and we "don´t have the programs" that we need to provide to clients. The business profile in Partner Locator is crucial - we link it to clients and prospects! Microsoft then takes until Friday March 13 to verify the payment and "enroll" us again So we have not had the programs for a week, and partner CAN`T hold the programs in a rolling 12M? There´s always a glitch in the timeframe - much more problematic then Microsoft Support in India "understands". I have pinpointed this every year for the last 7 years - nothing happens And - our business profile is STILL empty! +2 weeks after the renewal window started and we did the payment. This has happened every year now - no change! Support ticket 2603180040005878!SolvedUnable to create support tickets Partner Launch Benefits purchase failing but billing profile valid

Thank you in advance.Where is the MEMBERSHIP tab in Partner Center
The MEMBERSHIP tab is missing in Partner Center. It's missing in my org's Partner Center and several other partners' Partner Center when I spoke to them today and it looks like the issue is impacting all partners because the partners I spoke to are in both the U.S. and U.K.. Any idea when it will be visible again? I was able to find a workaround and included it below so thought I would share. But partners need this tab. Please advise. Thanks, Liz if you need to access the MEMBERSHIP TAB, I was able to figure out a workaround until Microsoft fixes that bug. To get to the MEMBERSHIP menu items, click on the “My Access” Tab. Click on the “My Learning Profile” from the left menu. You should now have the MEMBERSHIP menu available. This is a work around until Microsoft fixes that bug. 😊Hardware workspace "account deactivated" - cannot submit driver for attestation signing
Hello, I am reaching out regarding an issue with our Partner Center Hardware workspace that is preventing us from submitting drivers for attestation signing. Issue: When navigating to the Hardware workspace in Microsoft Partner Center, we receive the following error message: "Our records indicate that you have already enrolled into this program but your program registration is deactivated." We are completely unable to access the Hardware dashboard or submit any driver CAB files for attestation signing. What we have already completed: EV code signing certificate is active (DigiCert Trusted G4 Code Signing RSA4096 SHA384 2022 CA1, expires 2027-02-18) Hardware program appears as enrolled in Partner Center Programs page Attempted to create a support case via Services Hub - blocked due to no eligible support plan Posted on Microsoft Learn Q&A: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5787516/ Questions: Why has our Hardware workspace been deactivated? How can we reactivate it to proceed with driver attestation signing? Is there a specific support channel for Hardware Dev Center account issues without requiring a paid support plan? Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.How to get initial access to partner centre? I am lost
Hi, I registered on partner centre a week ago, filled out details of my business and it said wait for verification. After it, I cant see any status in "Overview" of my verification process or do anything in partner centre. Few days back I got emails for Entra recommendations but nothing from partner centre. I tried creating support ticket but it asks for workspace ID and I dont have it therefore can't create any support ticket. Can anyone tell me how to get around it? Or the solution is to just wait? I just dont want to wait for 2 weeks and then get to know that something was pending on me.Microsoft 365 Developer Program Eligibility
I was excited to hear all of the buzz around the revamped M365 Dev Program and eligibility for MAICPP participants (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/developer-program/microsoft-365-developer-program) especially for the sandbox subscription benefit: Eligible MAICPP partner levels include: Azure Expert Managed Service Providers (MSP) Solutions Partners Specialization Partners Managed Partners Microsoft Action Pack Subscribers Partner Success Core Benefits Recipients Partner Success Expanded Benefits Recipients Partner Launch Benefits Recipients Legacy Gold/Silver Partners However, when I log into my dashboard (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/profile), it says "you don't currently qualify for..." instead of the experience outlined in the help docs and announcements. Has anyone been able to provision a new M365 sandbox subscription with the new provisioning method? I have reached out to partner support, but they referred me to the dev program alias and nobody there has replied.Do benefits of different partner programs add up?
Situation I hope my question is located correctly in this community. If not: Please inform me so! We are a small SMB company developing cloud-based software. We bought the Partner Success Core Benefits which grants us 2.400 $ worth of Azure bulk credits and 15 Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses per year. Goal Our company is working on the qualification for the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" (SMB) status. We plan to buy the respective Solutions Partner designation which will buy us 6.000 $ worth of Azure bulk credits and 100 Microsoft 365 E3 licenses per year. Question Will the benefits of the Partner Success Core Benefits and the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" add up? Example: Partner program Azure bulk credits Microsoft 365 licenses Partner Success Core Benefits 2.400 $ Azure bulk credits 15 (Business Premium) Solutions Partner "Data & AI" 6.000 $ Azure bulk credits 100 (E3) Total (?) 8.400 $ Azure bulk credits? 115 Microsoft 365 licenses? When we qualify for the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" designation, we probably will still be eligible for the Partner Success Core Benefits. There will at least be an overlapping time period where the Partner Success Core Benefits has not yet ended but the Solutions partner designation already has started. In this overlapping period: Do those benefits then add up? Can we use up ALL Azure credits? Or will the benefits be restricted to the higher benefits? Will we then get a refund for the Partner Success Core Benefits Could please someone enlighten us on this issue (and perhaps provide us with a link)? Best regards JPSolved253Views0likes5Comments
