TALK TO AN EXPERT

Microsoft is ceasing Enterprise Agreement renewals for customers with less than 2400 users. Is your Microsoft EA expiring soon?

As of 2025, organizations with 500-2399 users currently under Microsoft Enterprise agreements have two license renewal options:

  • Buy licenses directly from Microsoft without support or discounts
  • Purchase from a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) like Centric who may be able to offer discounted pricing and dedicated support.

Many organizations struggle with the complexity and confusion of Microsoft licensing, leading to inefficient license management, overspending, and compliance risks. However, most companies have to undergo Microsoft license verifications on average every two years.

Having the support of a professional with decades of expertise in Microsoft licensing and asset management is invaluable when trying to stay compliant and reduce renewal costs. When you partner with us as your Microsoft license reseller, we’ll start by giving you an assessment to evaluate your current license mix against your needs and identify cost-saving opportunities.
