Microsoft CSP licensing and pricing
Buying the right Microsoft licences starts with what your staff need to do and what you already pay for. We help you review subscriptions, spot unanswered questions and understand the commitment before ordering.
A product name is not the whole agreement. Quantities, renewal dates and the terms for changing seats matter too.

We help you choose and look after the technology your team uses every day.
Check what you have before buying more
Different teams may need different capabilities. Compare their day-to-day work and any security or management requirements with the entitlements already available. An extra subscription is not always the answer to a feature that has not been configured or assigned.
Bring a list of products, assigned seats and renewal dates to the review. That helps separate a genuine licensing gap from unused capacity or an administration question. Any proposed add-ons should have a clear reason and their dependencies should be understood.
Compare the price and the commitment together
A monthly invoice does not necessarily mean you can cancel or reduce a subscription every month. Billing frequency and commitment length are different. Check the applicable term, change windows and renewal behaviour for the specific order.
For a fair price comparison, use the same products, quantities, term and billing schedule. Confirm tax treatment and whether support, migration or administration is included. A seasonal increase in staff is a good reason to discuss how long extra seats are needed before choosing a commitment.

Put renewal and administration responsibilities in writing
The schedule should show products, quantities, assignment plans, renewal dates and who makes renewal decisions. It should also identify cancellation or seat-reduction rules and any services charged separately from the licences. Confirm current prices and terms in the written quotation before ordering.
Keep tenant ownership and delegated access clear when changing supplier. Licensing supply, assigning seats and supporting users are related but different jobs. You should know which of them Proxar will do and which remain with your team.
For a wider discussion about the platform and how it will be run, explore cloud services. A subscription review can be useful on its own; it does not have to turn into a full migration project.

Before you decide
Your questions, answered
Do all Microsoft subscriptions have the same change rules?
No. The rules depend on the product and purchasing arrangement, and they can change. Ask for the terms applying to your specific order, including cancellation, renewal and seat reductions. Do not rely on a general description of CSP as a substitute for those details.
Can we reduce seats whenever someone leaves?
Check the applicable commitment and change windows before assuming so. Removing a user’s licence assignment and reducing the number of paid seats are different actions. Expected staffing changes should be part of the purchasing discussion so you understand the commercial effect before placing the order.
What affects the price in a quotation?
The products, quantities, commitment and billing schedule all matter. Check tax, required add-ons and any separately priced support or project work as well. A useful comparison makes each of those items visible rather than presenting a licence total as the complete cost of running the service.
Is support included when we buy licences through Proxar?
The quotation should state which support and administration accompany the subscriptions. Supplying licences does not automatically include every tenant change, migration or user-support request. We can discuss the combination you need and make the ongoing responsibilities clear alongside the purchase.
Your next step
Are your Microsoft licences still the right fit?
Bring your subscription list, renewal dates and expected staffing changes. We will help you check the requirements and the commercial questions before you renew or add more seats.
