New Training Services Partner Onboarding Update
Hello new TSPs. We are currently updating the onboarding process to provide better communications around process and timing. While we work to update, please send me a private message if you have completed the onboarding form and you are currently waiting on a response. I anticipate this workaround to last for a few weeks and for us to have a new process in place in January. Once the update is complete and the normal process resumes, I will delete this thread. Thanks, Dan
Partner Center API: Getting subscription usage count
Goal: Given a customerId, skuId, and productId for a specific microsoft license check the usage data (i.e. how many used / unused licenses) for that license. Examples: skuId = "0004" productId = "CFQ7TTC0JXCZ" Steps taken so far: I can pull down a customer's subscriptions via this endpoint. The response contains a skuId and productId, so I can filter the response to find the license I'm interested in. However, the response does not contain any information about license usage. It contains the total quantity associated with the subscription but doesn't specify the number of licenses used. I can use a different endpoint to pull down all the subscribed skus for a specific customer. This endpoint does return the license usage information that I want, but it doesn't return the desired productId and the returned skuId doesn't match the pattern I expect. It also returns a skuPartNumber that isn't helpful to mapping back to my input skuId and productId I'm stuck, so any support would be much appreciated! Thank you!Verify your account information when you enroll in the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program

Dynamics Field Service Contractor License through CSP`?
Hi can you provide any information on if and when the above license will be available through csp. As far as i can see, you can order this directly from Microsoft through your Tenant and maybe still VL. But not through CSP. It is neither on the pricelist, nor in partnecenter. thanks for your response Kind regards Steffi
Getting Offer & Plan Details via API
Hello community, Can anyone offer guidance on how to retrieve details of our Offers and Plans via API request to the Azure Marketplace? The relevant API's seem to be below https://cloudpartner.azure.com/api/ but, I cannot seem to generate an authentication token that has the correct scope and am receiving 401: Unauthorized. e.g. GET: https://cloudpartner.azure.com/api/publishers/{{publisherId}}/offers?api-version=2017-10-31 Steps taken: I already have an operational App Service Principle and can obtain an access token that works with the marketplaceapi.microsoft.com API's (from the Mastering the MarketPlace Saas Accelerator) setup. I can I have granted the App Service Principle the "Manager" role in the Partner Portal as described in the API prerequisites. But, the documentation seems to omit the authentication "scope" I should request in the oAUTH flow. Any suggestions or guidance welcomed! Thanks.Additional $25k in Azure Sponsorship for eligible ISV Success participants

Stop Distribution of an Offer or Plan - Contradiction in Documentation
There appears to be a contradiction in the "Stop Distribution of an Offer or Plan" section of the MS Learn article "Update existing offers in the commercial marketplace." Specifically, the document says: Any customers who previously acquired the offer or plan can still use it but they can't re-download or redeploy. However, the third bullet point beneath that text says: For all offers, once the offer or plans are deprecated, the customer has 90 days of usage. The plain language of these two sentences, taken together, is an apparent contradiction. Which is correct? Can anyone point to unambiguous documentation on the question?EVENT CANCELLED: Partner Webinar - Security conversations with nonprofits | Apr 2
