Through 31 December 2026, CSP customers buying at least 300 new annual Microsoft 365 E7 seats, enabling Azure pay-as-you-go usage billing, and purchasing at least five annual Copilot Studio capacity packs can receive a 12-month one-for-one match of eligible packs, capped at five.

New stateMicrosoft announced a conditional CSP Microsoft 365 E7 Buy 5 Get 5 annual Copilot Studio capacity-pack offer, available through 31 December 2026. A qualifying purchase requires at least 300 new annual E7 seats, an Azure subscription enabling pay-as-you-go usage-based billing, and at least five purchased annual Copilot Studio capacity packs. Microsoft matches eligible packs one for one, for 12 months, up to five additional packs. The public announcement does not establish actual customer eligibility, price reduction, or a universal bundled E7 entitlement.

Who is affected

CSP-authorised partners and qualifying customers evaluating 300 or more new annual Microsoft 365 E7 seats with Azure usage-based billing and annual Copilot Studio capacity-pack purchases.

Action required

Before quoting, check the first-party launch kit and current CSP offer eligibility, account-specific qualification, offer limitations, original annual capacity-pack purchase terms and redemption deadline. Do not assume E7 includes an automatic five-pack entitlement.

Evidence boundary

This is a 21 October 2026 time-limited CSP offer, not a permanent Microsoft 365 E7 licence feature, blanket price reduction, free capacity without a qualifying purchase, or future availability after 31 December. Microsoft's public announcement directs partners to a launch kit for complete terms; that kit has not been independently inspected. No customer quotation or actual savings claim is established.
