Lock In Your Microsoft Licensing Savings - Deadline November 1st

September 25, 2025

Time is running out to secure competitive Microsoft licensing rates before pricing standardisation takes effect.

With just weeks remaining until Microsoft's pricing changes come into force on 1st November 2025, organisations have a rapidly closing window to lock in significant savings on their Microsoft licensing costs. After this date, Level B-D enterprise customers will face standardised pricing with no programmatic discounts—but Altiatech clients can still secure competitive rates.

The November 1st Deadline Explained

Microsoft's pricing consistency update will fundamentally change how enterprise licensing is priced:

  • Level B-D customers (organisations with 2,400+ Enterprise plans) will lose all programmatic discounts
  • Standard pricing becomes mandatory across Enterprise Agreement (EA), Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA), and Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) customers
  • Renewals from 1st November 2025 onwards face the full impact of these changes
  • Companies renewing before 31st October can still access current pricing structures

This represents Microsoft's biggest pricing restructure in years, affecting thousands of UK organisations that currently benefit from enterprise-level discounts.


Your Last Chance to Lock In Savings

The clock is ticking, but it's not too late to secure your organisation's Microsoft licensing future. Altiatech's strategic partnerships and Microsoft Partner status enable us to offer competitive pricing that beats Microsoft's new standard rates.

Here's what you can lock in before the deadline:

Guaranteed Competitive Licensing Rates

Through our established commercial relationships with Microsoft, we maintain access to preferential pricing structures that we pass directly to our clients. While others face price increases, Altiatech customers secure ongoing savings.

Azure Optimisation That Continues

The November pricing changes affect online services only—our Azure spend optimisation programmes remain fully intact, delivering substantial cost reductions on your cloud consumption.

Strategic Contract Positioning

Our licensing experts can position your organisation's contracts to maximise protection against future pricing changes whilst ensuring you get the best possible terms available in the market.



The Cost of Waiting

Organisations that delay their decision past November 1st will face:

  • Immediate price increases on Microsoft online services with no programmatic discounts
  • Limited negotiating power when dealing directly with Microsoft's standardised pricing
  • Budget shock as current cost projections become obsolete overnight
  • Competitive disadvantage compared to organisations that secured better terms earlier


The financial impact varies by organisation, but for enterprise customers with significant Microsoft deployments, the cost difference can be substantial and ongoing.
