Microsoft corrects its NCE model from Dollar to Euro. As of April 1, 2023, Microsoft is changing its NCE pricing model. This will correct changes in the dollar exchange rate with other currencies. In other words, the price will henceforth be calculated in local currency. This correction is adjusted periodically (2x per year) and therefore an increase or decrease of local prices based on the exchange rate against the dollar. Accordingly, this change takes effect worldwide.
Specifically, this is what happens
Subscription prices are up 11% as a result of the price correction based on the Dollar-Euro exchange rate. As a result, contracts that expire and are covered by NCE are renewed with the adjusted price. As a result, monthly licenses will be adjusted April 1, annual licenses at contract expiration and renewal.
Microsoft applies this change twice a year. With the intention of keeping dollar-euro rates the same in different currencies.
These licenses are modified
We mark individual services so you know what to expect or why the price is suddenly different. As a result, services belonging to this price change will be notified:
** Note: part of Microsoft NCE **
Still curious? These licensing programs fall under the NCE model:
- Enterprise Agreement (Commercial, Government, and Enrollment for Education Solutions).
- Microsoft Customer Agreement for enterprise (MCA-E) - Applies to seat-based offerings
- CSP legacy and CSP with MCA applies to seat-based offerings(Commercial, Government, and Education Solutions
- Open Value / Open Value Subscription (Commercial, Government, and Education Solutions)
- MPSA - Microsoft Products and Services Agreement ( Commercial, Government and Academic).
- MSOP - Microsoft Online Services Portal
- MCA Online
This is how price protection works
For a contract with a term of one year then applies after April 1:
- The price is not adjusted until the contract expires and is renewed
- Can you add new licenses to the contract at fixed agreed price
This does not apply to Azure services
All Microsoft Azure prices are adjusted monthly on the dollar-euro exchange rate. Therefore, there will be no different method of billing for Azure services.

- Each license type is a separate contract(M365 E3, M365BP etc.).
- Each term is also a separate contract (M365BP annual, M365 BP monthly)
- When a license is added into an existing contract, the expiration date is "co-termed." Thus, the new license has the same expiration date as the original contract. (If the contract with 10 licenses expires on December 1 and you add 2 licenses in November then all licenses expire on December 1)
- Within a the contract term (month, year, 3 years) you can add but not deduct licenses from the contract
- Month licenses have an uplift of +20% on the annual price
- With price protection, you are assured of a fixed price during the contract term
You can.
Accommodate part of the licenses in an annual contract and part in monthly contracts. For example, for temporary workers or seasonal workers. Contact your account manager to discuss this properly.
Almost 10 years ago. In the meantime, 10+ new applications have been added and more than 1,400 new features and improvements have been implemented on the 365 platform. Just last year, for example, Microsoft Teams has become 50% more efficient so that meetings and collaboration are increasingly smooth.
Do you already know Planner, Sway, Lists, OneNote, etc.? All super handy tools that do not require you to purchase additional software and allow you to collaborate better and more efficiently with data, applications and communication with colleagues and externals.
No, these changes have no connection to AZURE.
The contract and associated licenses must be expired with the current partner. If partners are with the same supplier, they may be able to help. The alternative, a buy-out, consists of the full cost of the current contract. We can always discuss with the new party to continue the current contract and add administrative rights to the Microsoft portal for the new IT partner. Above all, let's resolve it fresh together.
