Upgrade of Microsoft NCE SubscriptionsYou can now partially or fully upgrade your NCE subscriptions using the generic upgrade flow our platform supports. The current version allows you to upgrade to a higher plan while keeping the same billing terms.
|
We don’t support yet the upgrade of an annual subscription with a monthly payment plan from the BSS portal. It is supported from the Storefront portal, but not yet from the BSS. We are working on it and we will deliver this scenario soon. |
What’s coming?
In our subsequent releases, we will enhance the upgrades functionality by introducing:
Ability to change the billing terms during the upgrade
Upgrade to an existing subscription
Schedule an upgrade action
Please check the /wiki/spaces/ICPD/pages/611418592 page for more information.
Our Microsoft Import Customers tool has been enhanced to support also import of the NCE subscriptions. You can now import for new Microsoft tenants, which are not yet on our platform, both their legacy and NCE subscriptions.
All NCE subscriptions can be imported, regardless of their billing terms and how they were created:
Coterminous with another subscription
Their end date is aligned with the calendar month
Partially upgraded
The billing cycle of the imported subscription in the BSS portal will match the billing cycle of the subscription in the MS partner center.
For Annual subscriptions up to six months old, the prices are retrieved from the price sheet of the month when the subscription was created.
We apply promotion discounts if the subscription in the MS partner center is related to a promotion.
For the imported tenants, you can define whether they can use billing plans.
Annual Subscriptions with a monthly payment plan will not be imported if you don’t activate billing plans for the customer. Check please the Subscription Import Error Handling page for more details.
In our subsequent releases, we will also introduce the capability to import subscriptions for a tenant already existing in your BSS. This will significantly facilitate scenarios where you create a subscription in the Microsoft partner center for one of your customers and you need to import it into our system. |

A new field, called Billing Plan, is introduced with this release for the NCE Order Items. This field is for finding when an order item has a monthly billing plan and can be used in Reports, Notifications, Advanced Search, Email Templates, and Print-out Templates.
This release includes the following improvements:
The due date of the installments is now calculated based on the customer’s billing day and invoicing option (on order day or billing day)
For customers with Partial Charges Invoicing = On Order day, the installments are invoiced based on the purchase date.
For customers with Partial Charges Invoicing = On Billing day, the installments are invoiced on the customer’s billing day.
The “Edit/Remove Price Protection” link is now disabled for all NCE subscriptions.
The installments are correctly calculated for purchasing extra licenses for a subscription with volume or tiered pricing.
This release supports your customers to pay with bank transfers using the dLocal payment gateway. By activating this option, your customer can choose to pay using a credit card or by transferring money from their bank account.
For more details, please check the Using dLocal for Bank Transfer via Checkout page.

Storefront settings page for the Reseller Standard Edition

We simplified how you can define the default unit for your products and now you have a single default unit applied to all product units.
Adobe has announced new terms for their resellers. Adobe resellers must accept them before offering Adobe software products to the end users.
We have uploaded the new terms in the section where your reseller can register as Adobe resellers.
We have improved the performance of the Storefront portal, especially for anonymous users, by storing the Google material icons locally.
