As Microsoft initiates the transition from CSP legacy to NCE in January 2024, we strongly advise proactively managing your customers' migrations ahead of this date. The Microsoft-led migration will occur on the date of subscription renewal, starting with all subscriptions renewing in January 2024 and will continue with all offers renewing throughout calendar years 2024 and 2025.
-
Partners will have seven days after migration is complete to change the subscription term and/or quantity or cancel the subscription.
-
All legacy subscriptions that Microsoft migrates to new commerce will be set to an annual term with monthly billing plan and seat counts that the customers had in legacy.
-
If your customers want monthly subscription terms in new commerce instead of annual terms, or annual terms billed annually, you should migrate them before the legacy subscriptions reach their end of term.
Proactively migrating customers' subscriptions offers several advantages, including the flexibility to tailor terms and conditions to your customers' preferences, as well as the opportunity to receive credit for the remaining subscription term.

Microsoft is pleased to announce that public sector subscriptions, which include academic and NFP/charity, will be ready for partners to move to new commerce. To give partners time to adjust to this change, Microsoft-led migration of public sector offers will begin starting 1 September 2024.
We encourage partners to work with customers on a plan to move their subscriptions to new commerce to allow them to set the subscription terms that work best for their customers.
Microsoft will launch the CSP education and nonprofit offers in four waves, as shown in the following table.
