Is there an option to purchase additional seats of
the online cloud services?
• Licenses purchased at partner preferred pricing are not meant to
exceed the organization’s Internal Use Rights (IUR) caps described in
the Cloud Program benefits.
• These licenses are meant to provide partners with continuous
access to Online Services in the event a partner does not qualify for
IUR through the Cloud Partner Program.
• Partner preferred pricing is currently available for $19 per seat
Is there a limit to how many licenses I can purchase
and add to my IUR domain?
No.
The requirement in order to continue using your
IUR Benefit is 50 seats per online service.
Note, if you need the Benefit for another service,
you will need to sell 50 seats of that particular
service in order to continue receiving that.
