Microsoft Product Terms: November 2023

Microsoft 365 Copilot is added
It’s listed for Enterprise Agreements (as expected) but also the MCA (Microsoft Customer Agreement) and nowhere is there any mention of a 300 license minimum.

I assume it is listed under MCA as it’s available on the MCA for Enterprise Customers aka MCA-E – that is for Enterprise customers buying directly from Microsoft rather than those in the CSP channel. It’s rightly been noted that Copilot isn’t visible on the public pricelists so almost certainly isn’t magically available via CSP but without clarifying text in the Product Terms (or anywhere else), it’s not clear. Nothing like a bit of licensing confusion for one of the biggest product releases in ages!

System Center is added to CSP and the “16-cores” per customer requirement is removed when licensing by virtual OSE.

There’s a new AI related term too:
Excessive use of a Microsoft Generative AI Service may result in temporary throttling of Customer’s access to the Microsoft Generative AI Service
