Conversion of Non-Profit and Education CSP Licenses from November 2023
Microsoft lowers Cloud License Prices in Switzerland
After the changeover has already taken place for the Commercial CSP licenses in spring 2022, Microsoft is now also changing the licenses for nonprofit and education customers. The NCE licenses behave analogously to the commercial licenses, whereby the prices for annual licenses remain the same and monthly licenses are 20% higher than the annual licenses. In addition, there will be the option to purchase selected licenses as 3-year licenses. In 2024, Microsoft will then discontinue CSP Legacy licenses completely, requiring a switch to NCE licenses.

For all companies that do not have nonprofit or education status, this has no impact.
What does the conversion mean for nonprofit and education customers?
Licenses must now be converted from CSP Legacy to NCE. If the adjustment is not completed by the expiration of the respective CSP Legacy license in 2024, Microsoft will automatically convert the licenses to annual licenses.
