Microsoft is retiring Action Pack and Legacy silver/gold Partner Benefits

Starting January 22, 2025, Microsoft will no longer sell Microsoft Action Pack, Microsoft Learning Action Pack, or legacy silver/gold benefits.

Partners who purchase or renew these legacy benefits packages before January 22, 2025, will be able to use their benefits for 12 months from their purchase/renewal date. Those with an eligible active legacy silver/gold purchase status as of January 21, 2025, will be eligible for the remainder of the FY25 CSP incentive term (January 22, 2025, to September 30, 2025).

Silver and gold benefits will remain in effect for one year after your last purchase or renewal, but they will not undergo the January 2025 update. Therefore, we encourage every partner to purchase a partner benefits package today to access the new benefits as soon as they are released on January 22, 2025. There are no requirements to purchase, and your partner admin can perform the transaction in Partner Center.

Below are recommendations to help you decide which of the three packages to choose. For qualified partners, we also encourage you to attain a Solutions Partner designation to strengthen your benefits portfolio and stand out in the marketplace.

• If you have a Microsoft Action Pack or Learning Action Pack, we recommend the Partner Success Core Benefits and Partner Success Expanded Benefits packages, depending on the size and needs of your organization. These benefits are designed to enhance your cloud and AI capabilities and help drive long-term profitability.
  
  
• If you have legacy silver or gold benefits, we recommend Partner Success Expanded Benefits, a comprehensive package designed for organizations ready to expand even further and deepen their partnership with Microsoft. You can also strengthen your portfolio and stand out in the marketplace with a Solutions Partner designation.

Please engage with your TD SYNNEX Software & Cloud Team to learn more.
