Microsoft Just Killed Your EA Discounts.
Are You Ready for the Financial Shock?

On November 1, 2025, Microsoft eliminates automatic EA volume discounts (Levels B–D), which have been in place for decades. That means every enterprise pays list price. For some, this is a +12% increase overnight. For large orgs, that’s millions of dollars in unexpected costs.

Most companies will scramble at renewal. Smart leaders are acting now.

Why This Matters

  • Discounts vanish Nov 1 → All customers pay Level A pricing.
  • Impact: +6–12% annual cost increases ($100K → $2M+ depending on org size).
  • Hidden risk: Microsoft support fees also rise (calculated as % of spend).
  • Action plan: Start early, optimize licenses, negotiate aggressively, secure protections.
  • Solution: Celebration OnPoint’s licensing tools + expert negotiation support.

What’s Changing With Microsoft Licensing?

  • No more waterfall discounts. Everyone pays list.
  • Applies to Microsoft 365, Dynamics, Windows 365, Power Platform, and security/identity.
  • On-prem, government, and education pricing not yet affected.
  • EA, MPSA, OSPA customers are hit hardest.

Translation: You’ll pay more for the same licenses—unless you prepare.

Takeaways

  • Microsoft isn’t lowering your costs—they’re raising them.

  • You still have negotiating leverage (if you prepare).

  • Every $1 you save on licensing = $1 you can fund AI, security, or growth.

  • The deadline is fixed. Act before Nov 1, or pay list price.
