Important Policy Enforcement Notice for Microsoft Surface Hub Licensing 

 

Effective July 1, 2023, customers who activated Teams Rooms devices, including Microsoft Surface Hubs, and executives in personal mode using a user license (M365 and O365 A, E, G, etc.) will be blocked from sign in. Prior to July 1st, customers must procure and provision a Teams Rooms Pro ($40) or Teams Rooms Basic ($0 / max 25 devices) license to continue service. Customers with legacy Microsoft Teams Rooms Standard or Teams Rooms Premium subscription licenses can reserve seats under their existing agreement to remain compliant.
The requirement follows the announcement last September of new Teams Rooms Pro and Basic licenses, including changes to user subscription licenses for Teams Rooms deployments. If customers still rely on user subscription license for the Hub Device account, customers have until July 1 to procure and provision a Teams Room license. Otherwise, Surface Hub will be blocked from signing in until a Teams Rooms license is assigned.

Channel Simplification and New Assessments

Over the next few months, we will be rolling out program changes to make it easier and simpler for you to do business with Microsoft Surface.

The first step to implement these changes is for existing Surface Commercial DMPs and VADORs to onboard in Partner Center and accept the new DMP Agreement. Once you have onboarded and accepted the new DMP Agreement, you will be authorized to sell the entire Surface portfolio (Surface PC and Surface Hub) that Microsoft authorizes for sale in your market.

Details will be provided on this new onboarding in the coming weeks. For now, please note the following information and important dates:

  • The Term of the existing DMP Agreement and the Term of the existing VADOR Agreement is extended through June 30, 2023.
  • Watch your email for notifications from Microsoft and Partner Center with instructions for onboarding and accepting the new DMP Agreement (Surface PC and Surface Hub) in April and May.
  • Complete the instructions and onboarding actions by June 30, 2023.
  • After June 30, 2023, you will no longer be authorized to resell Surface products until you onboard in Partner Center and accept the new DMP Agreement.

Surface Partner Pre-Sales Concierge

The Partner Pre-Sales Concierge is a partner-facing resource where partners and PDMs can go to ask Surface-related pre-sales questions. Our goal is to help partners land more Surface deals and save PDMs time to focus on what’s important.
