In response to partner feedback, on October 1, 2022, Microsoft will implement major revisions and upgrades to its outsourcing and hosting terms that will benefit partners and customers globally. With these changes, potential customer benefits will enable new scenarios for how they can license and run workloads with infrastructure outsourcers. Additionally, the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program will have a new program option that enables participating partners to more effectively sell hosted solutions to customers, whether these customers are already licensed.
