Microsoft is making 1-month, 12-month and 36-month subscriptions available
to CSP partners in the
new commerce experience. Monthly subscription terms will be priced
20% higher than the monthly cost of annual or multi-year subscriptions.
|
NCE makes it easier to manage
subscriptions, with enhanced provisioning, pausing, automated changes at renewal,
and an easier price list.
|
The introduction of the new
monthly term subscription will allow customers to cancel or reduce
seats more easily, at a premium
price. It will also be easier
to adopt new products and
add-ons separately.

The new Windows 365 is now available in Cloud Service Provider (CSP). There are also free trial choices with an easier conversion to being a paid customer, as well as new add-ons available only on NCE. |
For a premium, Microsoft will now offer new monthly-term subscriptions, allowing customers cancel or reduce seat counts on a monthly basis. They can also choose consumption billing for telco offers. |
Customers can access the best pricing on annual terms with long-term protection. They can also lock in pricing further with multi-year terms, and switch from a monthly to an annual term easily to save money. |
Legacy vs. NCE
Currently NCE includes commercial offers only; government, non-profit and education offers are not yet included.
