Windows 10: How to deploy and manage Windows subscriptions in the CSP program

Brink · Feb 21, 2018

The Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program provides a pay-as-you-go subscription model with per-user, per-month pricing that enables businesses to scale up or down from month to month as their needs change. By working with an expert CSP partner, even companies with limited or no IT staff can stay secure, productive, and in control.

We recently published three new downloadable guides to help both customers and partners understand the Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 offerings available through the CSP program:

Introduction to Windows 10 subscriptions in the Cloud Solution Provider program – Intended for those making technical decisions for their organizations, this guide outlines the benefits of the CSP model for both customers and partners, and provides technical guidance on how to:

Purchase subscriptions and assign to users

Upgrade or update devices to Windows 10, version 1607 or later

Activate subscription on end-user devices

Configure newly accessible functionality on end-user devices (as necessary)

The role of Azure Active Directory in Windows 10 cloud subscriptions – This guide provides an overview of identity management in the CSP program and guidance on how to integrate on-premises Active Directory (AD) with Azure AD or migrate completely from on-premises AD to Azure AD.

Windows 10 upgrade benefits for customers with subscriptions in the CSP program – This document explains how businesses can upgrade PCs and devices still running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10 at no additional cost via upgrade benefits included with Windows subscriptions (including Microsoft 365 offerings) in the CSP program.

If your organization is interested in obtaining Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 as part of the CSP subscription model, you can get started today by finding a solution provider. If you are interested in becoming a Microsoft partner, or you are an existing partner interested in becoming a CSP partner, visit the Microsoft Partner Network.

Windows 10 (1709) Microsoft 365 Business CSP License activation error

You need to contact your Cloud Service Provider who provided the license to you. Since you are running Windows 10 Business which is a subscription, it should automatically activate as long as the subscription is active.

We are actually the CSP and we are doing the upgrade for one of our clients. Microsoft 365 Plan is what we are providing. (Microsoft 365 Business | Microsoft)

Windows 10 Enterprise E3 (local only)

Hi Aravil,

Windows 10 Enterprise edition is being distributed with Volume License Agreement and is often installed or deployed by the organization that's granted or purchased the license.

Interestingly enough it is unclear what that "local only" pertains to. For us to be able to look into this, we'd like to know where this is from (Website URL, Email advertising or Advertising Banner)? If you could provide us the Microsoft site where this is
written on, we would gladly check on this for verification.

We're looking forward to your response.

This ("Windows 10 Enterprise E3 (local only)") is now also appearing in CSP Direct (previously CSP T1) pricelist as a new Offer ID which seems to replace old one "Windows 10 Enterprise E3".

They have a same price but Offer name and Offer ID has changed.
