Introducing Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite
Built to help you seize the agentic moment and drive frontier transformation, general availability of Microsoft 365 E7 and Microsoft Agent 365 is on May 1, 2026.
Starting on April 1, 2026, to accelerate Microsoft 365 E5 to E7 upsell and Agent 365 adoption, Copilot + Power Accelerate will include Agent 365 across Immersion Briefings, Envisioning and proof of concept (PoC) engagements, and Deployment Accelerators.

Extended Service Terms
Extended Service Terms are new end-of term options for partners that need more time to decide between cancelling a subscription or renewing it. This added flexibility costs 3% above the monthly rate for the stock keeping unit (SKU) but allows for ultimate flexibility of renewing, upgrading, or cancelling at any time.
We are letting you know that Microsoft has announced that on 4th May 2026, the free grace period for accessing services on non-renewed subscriptions is discontinued. Customers who don't renew must either cancel at end of term and lose access immediately or enter a paid extended service term (EST) to continue service. The extended service term bills monthly at the current monthly term rate plus a 3% uplift (or 23% if no monthly plan exists).
Updating Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) authorization requirements to support a thriving Partner ecosystem.
Beginning October 1, 2025, updated CSP authorisation eligibility requirements are enforced for direct bill partners, distributors, and indirect resellers. The enforcement date might vary based on current status (new applicant or existing).
MSFT FY26 Indirect Reseller Requirements:
- Complete business vetting.
- Have a minimum of 1,000 USD TTM billed revenue at the reseller tenant level.
- Complete the mandatory requirements of the Partner Centre security score.
- Accept the Indirect Reseller Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA).
