Microsoft officials said earlier this week that the decision to start requiring partners to pay for the Microsoft software and services they use stemmed from a need to cut costs. Microsoft's about-face comes just days before the company's annual partner conference, Inspire, kicks off in Las Vegas. 'We appreciate your feedback, apologize for the confusion this caused some members of our partner community, and look forward to growing our partnership with you in the months and years to come.' Together, we can continue to be a catalyst for digital transformation industry-wide. 'Our decision to rescind these changes required a thorough review, and a key determining factor was the connection and trust we have with you, our partners - a valuable asset we do not take for granted. We will continue to invest in our partner program to ensure we create opportunities for all our partners. As we move forward, we commit to providing even more advance notice and consultation with our partner community to mitigate concerns and address issues upfront. 'Each year, we review how we engage with partners and evolve our approach to ensure we provide best-in-class support to you and stay ahead of market changes. This means you will experience no material changes this coming fiscal year, and you will not be subject to reduced IUR licenses or increased costs related to those licenses next July as previously announced. 'Given your feedback, we have made the decision to roll back all planned changes related to internal use rights and competency timelines that were announced earlier this month. In a note posted to its Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) site on July 12, Microsoft's channel chief Gavriella Schuster stated: Since then, Microsoft's been attempting to do damage control, including by holding a webcast that meant to shed more light on the reasoning behind the move. Last week, Microsoft quietly published information to its partner website which made it clear that one of its program's main benefits - IURs - would be axed in July 2020.
