There are some really grim changes being proposed. It's bordering on Evil.

 

Price increases, OK, if we must. Higher Price (slightly) for Month to Month, probably falls within reason.

 

No changes in term, no downgrades, and making your partner wear the entire cost of the commitment if the customers falls over/refuses to pay? Whack-a-doodle.

 

These are all on *top* of the proposed price increases announced earlier.

 

Also, with MS now saying all OLP licenses will be handled through the CSP program, one imagines, it's all part of a larger pretty unattractive picture.

May have something to do with this:

 

Future capabilities for new commerce in CSP

 

In 2022, additional features and new offers will launch exclusive to new commerce. For example, current plans for Microsoft 365 (subject to change) include three-year term offers, hybrid use benefits (HUB), home use program (HUP), and multi-geo add-ons. Partners will also be able to align term end dates of new and existing subscriptions.

 

These new features enable Microsoft to bring some popular capabilities and offer types from other licensing programs to new commerce and to deliver an end-to-end set of features, rounding out the suite of Microsoft cloud offers in new commerce.

 

Seat-based offers in new commerce will not be available in Brazil until February 2022.
