Microsoft Licensing Is Changing: Here’s How to Regain Control
Recording
Microsoft has just confirmed a fundamental shift in how enterprise customers will buy and pay for Microsoft Online Services. Volume-based discounts are being phased out starting November 1, 2025, pushing every customer toward list-price renewals.
This is not a routine change. It’s a forced evolution in the Microsoft licensing landscape (one that requires more than just a renewal strategy). It demands data, cross-functional readiness, and expert-backed negotiation prep.
Join BDO for this critical briefing, where you’ll learn what’s really changing, what it means for your next Microsoft renewal, and what steps to take right now to defend your budget and unlock hidden value from your current cloud investments.
As a Direct CSP partner, BDO brings both operational visibility and licensing leverage to the conversation — powered by our Active Insights platform and supported by a Microsoft licensing and consumption health check that has uncovered savings between 5 and 20% for enterprise clients.
