RSMUS.comOn September 1, 2021, Microsoft will launch the Bridge to the Cloud promotion through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program. Existing Dynamics Price List (DPL) customers who have licensed Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP or Dynamics SL can renew their Enhancement on a monthly basis through CSP and receive Dynamics 365 Business Central online licenses at a 60% discounted price. Customers who enroll in this promotion can continue to use their on-premises product in parallel with Business Central online while maintaining Enhancement benefits on their on-premises license throughout the promo term. The Bridge to the Cloud promotion is targeted at customers who are committed to their cloud journey and intend to complete migration by the end of the promo term. At the end of the promo term, enrolled customers will transition to CSP licensing and will no longer receive Enhancement benefits for their on-premises solution.
Promo Term
Customers can enroll in the promo for an initial 1-year period with the option to renew for an additional three years, resulting in a total possible term length of four years. At the end of promo term, customers can transfer to the available online licensing option for which they are eligible at that time.
