CSP Partner Insights Series – Monthly Key Updates – June 2025

New 3-Year Term and Promotions for Microsoft 365 E5 Security & Compliance Add-Ons

Starting July 1, 2025, Microsoft is introducing two new three-year subscription options for the Microsoft 365 E5 Security and E5 Compliance mini suites, designed to offer more flexibility and long-term value for customers. 

These add-ons are powerful and cost-effective enhancements to existing Microsoft 365 E3 and Business Premium plans, helping businesses bolster their security and compliance capabilities without switching to full E5 licensing. 

New Promotions to Support Customer Upgrades

To support customers transitioning from on-premises environments or upgrading from Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft will launch limited-time 10% discount promotions on the new three-year terms. 

These promotions are available for new-to-offer customers and are a great opportunity to unlock enterprise-grade protection and compliance tools at a lower cost.

Reminder: Changes to MCA Attestation Tools Are Coming

As highlighted in our May update, Microsoft is making significant changes to the CSP program.

From October 7, 2025, Microsoft will only accept the Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) through one of two methods:

• The enhanced Partner Attestation API

• Direct Customer Acceptance

New customer orders will not be processed if MCA acceptance is not completed through one of these methods.
