Explore updates to benefits packages, Solutions Partner designations, and specializations that can accelerate your AI, security, and GTM execution.

Impacted audience
All Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program partners are impacted by the benefits updates

As of February 13, 2026, new benefits are available across each of our three Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (MAICPP) benefits packages, and for select Solutions Partner designations and specializations. We developed these changes to help partners deliver greater AI innovation, stronger security, increased cloud resources, and smarter go-to-market (GTM) execution.

Highlights include

  • Increased Azure credits to support solution development and testing
  • Expanded Copilot benefits, including more Microsoft 365 Copilot capacity packs, Copilot Studio, and select Dragon Copilot access
  • Enhanced security offerings such as Microsoft Defender Suite, Microsoft Entra Suite, and Microsoft Intune Suite
  • Access to the new Partner Marketing Center Pro, which uses AI-powered capabilities to help partners find, customize, and deploy marketing campaigns more efficiently

Partners who already have an active partner benefits package, Solutions Partner designation, or specialization automatically receive these refreshed benefits as part of their current entitlements.

You can find an overview of what’s changed by reviewing the change sign in to the benefits guide. New or updated benefits are clearly labeled New for 2026.

We’re excited to support partners as they build, secure, and grow solutions more efficiently by taking advantage of these updates.
