Microsoft Audit Reports
This report obtains information from the Microsoft API, which you can use to check if the auto-renewal status and the number of licenses in the CloudBlue Commerce subscriptions is aligned with the information obtained from Microsoft. In addition, the report helps you to plan the migration of CSP subscriptions to NCE, as it provides the commitment end date of the CSP subscriptions which will be migrated to NCE on the renewal date in 2024.
The report can be created for one marketplace at a time and it can be configured to show data for a period of less than two months.
The report allows you to obtain the following information:
-
The auto-renewal status of NCE active subscriptions on Microsoft.
-
Number of licenses in each subscription on Connect and Microsoft.
-
Subscription creation date on Connect and Microsoft.
-
Commitment end date of CSP subscriptions on Microsoft.
