Microsoft's "Open License program" will end on Jan. 1, 2022, and not just for commercial customers, but also for government, education and nonprofit organizations, Microsoft affirmed in a Dec. 17 licensing news post.
"Starting on January 1, 2022, commercial, government, education, and nonprofit organizations won't be able to buy new or renew software licenses, Software Assurance, or online services through the Open License program," the announcement stated.
The last day to buy or renew an Open License will be Dec. 31, 2021.
Microsoft is shifting the sales of perpetual licenses over to its Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) partners as part of this plan to drop the Open License program in 2022. These CSP partners are empowered to sell perpetual licenses to organizations under a different program, called the "Open Value program," which has a Software Assurance (SA) buying option. Alternatively, Microsoft permits CSPs to sell licenses under the "Open Value Subscription" program, which is a different sales avenue that doesn't offer perpetual licenses, but it does offer SA coverage.
