CUSTOMER FAQ:
What SKUs is the discount available for in EA?
- Business Productivity Online Suite Step-Up from Core CAL
- Business Productivity Online Suite Step-Up from ECAL
What SKUs are the discounts available for in MOSP?
- Business Productivity Online Suite USL
- Exchange Online Standard USL
- SharePoint Online Standard USL
- Office Communications Online Standard USL

Are Step-Up credits available in MOSP during the promotion period?
The 30% off is a discount off the USL list price. However, if the customer owns CALs with SA we will make an adjustment to the customer’s bill once their licensing position has been confirmed. The Step-Up SKU’s are not available due to this being a manual process that has not been automated.
Is there a minimum purchase requirement for the promo?
Volume Licensing minimums apply, but no specific requirements to receive the promo discount.
How long will I receive the promo price?
The promo price will be valid for the length of the subscription term. In MOSP, this is equal to the first year subscription. The BPO Suite is an additional product in EA, which becomes co-terminus with the remainder of the new or existing EA contract.
What happens to pricing at the end of my promo subscription?
The regular list price becomes the effective pricing.
