Update to benefits renewal window coming

Renewal window for benefits to begin 30 days earlier.

Impacted audience

If you manage benefits renewals in Partner Center, this change affects how you plan renewal timing and track benefit end dates.

Starting in early 2027, your renewal window starts 30 days before the anniversary date (AD) of your benefits offering.

The previous 30-day post-AD grace period no longer applies, and you must complete offer renewal by your anniversary date. If renewal isn't completed, the offer and all associated benefits expire the day after the anniversary date and are no longer available unless you repurchase.

How this change applies across key offerings:

• Benefits packages (Partner Launch, Partner Success Core, Partner Success Expanded): Renewal follows a 30-day pre-anniversary date (AD-30) window. Offering renewal must be completed by the anniversary date, after which the offering and associated benefits expire if not renewed.
• Solutions Partner designations: Renewal follows the same AD-30 window, with benefits expiring the day after the anniversary date if renewal isn't completed.
• Support Services and Training Services designations: No change. These designations already follow an AD-30 renewal process, and this update aligns other offerings to this approach.
• ISV Success: No change. ISV Success already follows an AD-30 renewal process.
• Specializations: Benefits are tied to the associated Solutions Partner designation and also expire on that designation’s anniversary date if not renewed.

This change creates a consistent renewal timeline and reduces variability in how renewal status and benefit end dates are tracked, resulting in a more streamlined renewal experience.
