- Online services, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Windows 365, affected
- Business Agreements Pricing is close to line with Microsoft.com -Price Determination
- This means that many smaller businesses could end up losing their discounts
Microsoft has revealed that it will change its pricing method for online services in corporate agreements (EAS) in one step, it says will improve consistency and transparency – but the reality is that many users end up paying more than they did before.
With the prices that need to be closer to line with those published on Microsoft.com, many volume -based discounts could be removed.
Online services including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Windows 365 and Security, Compliance and Identity Management Products will be affected by customers’ next renewals or when they sign up for a service they don’t already have.
Microsoft changes its pricing to online services
“From November 1, 2025, Microsoft will take the next step in standardizing its pricing method for online services purchased through volume license programs,” the company said in a statement.
“This update is based on the consistent pricing model that is already in place for services such as Azure and reflects our ongoing commitment to greater transparency and adaptation across all purchasing channels.”
The company noted that no changes could be made to the pricing of software on site and that the US government and worldwide education price lists are excluded from the change.
With the changes that come into force as soon as November 2025, depending on customer renewals, many are concerned that this may be a step designed to push smaller customers to third -party CSPs, where many probably pay more when discounts are removed.
According to Directions on MicrosoftVolume customers typically received discounts between 6-12% on their online services purchased via EAS before the upcoming change was announced.
“Microsoft recommends planning time with your account team or partner to the mail to review these changes and assess any upcoming renewals or new online purchases,” the company added.
