Softline would like to inform the customers about the change of the rules for issuing new CSP subscriptions. Microsoft wants to bring a new era of simpler software sales and management for customers and partners with its New Commerce Experience (1) (NCE) platform.
From March 10, 2022, new CSP subscriptions for Licensed based per User products such as Office 365, Microsoft 365, Windows 365 and others can only be ordered under the NCE commercial model.
Why should we purchase via NCE?
- New flexible placement type with 1-month subscription term.
- Allow to buy from 1 license.
- Lower prices per commitment for a year.
- Obligations to pay during the validity period of the commitment.
Especially, let’s order through NCE channel to avoid price increasing until March 14, 2022(2), and utilize these promotions:
