You will not be able to renew Silver or Gold Partner Memberships after 21 January 2025.
-
Incentives and will end for Silver & Gold Partner Memberships after 30 September 2025. Benefits will end on the anniversary date of membership.
-
Microsoft Action Pack (MAP’s) & Microsoft Learn Pack will be end of Life 21 January 2025.
With the above dates in mind, you as a partner still have options. You can gain a Solutions Designation to replace your current legacy Silver or Gold Membership with the easiest SD to obtain being Modern Work. Do reach out to your Microsoft PDM for more information if you need clarity around this and whether the cost of SD membership is viable for your business. Of, course Modern Work may not be the right SD for your business, and we can assist you all that and what’s required for any of the SD options available.
Microsoft are making SD’s more attractive and from 22 January 2025, 20 new product licenses, including Microsoft Copilot, Defender for Endpoint, and GitHub, will be added to many existing SD benefits. Some of these benefits will be added to existing purchases automatically and some will be applicable for new purchases/renewals post-launch. For more details, refer to the benefits guide here for more information.
If a SD is not something you wish to obtain, or you have been purchasing MAP’s previously, you can look at any of the Partner Launch & Success Benefits here that are custom built for MSP’s. All of these options can be stacked, including SD’s, so you can purchase more than one option, however you can only purchase one of each option.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Dicker Data if you have any queries or need any assistance at all with Solution Designations or Parter Benefits and how to obtain them.
