- Online services, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Windows 365, affected
- The prices of company agreements will align closely with the Microsoft.com prices
- This means that many small businesses could end up losing their discount
Microsoft has revealed that it would change its price approach for online services in company agreements (EAS) in a decision which, according to him, will improve coherence and transparency – but reality is that many users will end up paying more than before.
With prices that should be more closely aligned with those published on Microsoft.com, many volume -based discounts could be eliminated.
Online services, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Windows 365 and safety, compliance and identity management, will be assigned from the next customer renewals, or when registering for a service they do not already have.
Microsoft changes its price approach for online services
“From November 1, 2025, Microsoft will pass the next step to normalize its pricing approach for online services purchased through volume license programs,” the company said in a press release.
“This update is based on the coherent pricing model already in place for services like Azure and reflects our continuous commitment to greater transparency and alignment on all purchasing channels.”
The company noted that no modification could be made to the pricing of on -site software and that the US government and the world educational price lists are excluded from the change.
The changes in force in November 2025, according to customer renewals, many fear that this will be designed to push small customers to third -party CSPs, many of which are likely to pay more as the discounts are deleted.
According to Directions on MicrosoftVolume customers have generally received discounts between 6 and 12% on their online services purchased via EAS before the announcement of this upcoming change.
“Microsoft recommends planning the time with your account team or your file partner to consult these modifications and assess any future renewal or new online service purchases,” added the company.
