Here are the essential facts:
Facts about the 15% discount
- Discount on new licenses: The promotion provides a 15% discount on new Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses within the CSP licensing model. This discount applies to subscriptions starting between September 1 and December 31, 2024.
- Minimum purchase requirement: To take advantage of the discount, you must purchase at least 10 new licenses.
- Price protection for additional licenses: After January 1, 2025, you can still apply the promotional price to additional licenses, up to a maximum of 300 licenses within your subscription. This offers some protection against future price increases.
- Subscription period and flexibility: The standard subscription is 12 months with payment made upfront. However, there is an option to align the end date of the subscription with each qualifying license, which could result in cost savings. Note that if a shortened subscription is extended, the promotional price may no longer apply.
- QuickStart training: Microsoft, through selected partners, offers a free 2.5-hour QuickStart training for Copilot for Microsoft 365. This training helps you effectively get started with Copilot. However, this offer is only available for customers with an annual commitment and CSP customers.
