Artemis 2 flew past the Moon Monday. Your Microsoft EA costs are headed there too — and unlike the astronauts, they're not coming back. 🚀
Three forces hitting your next renewal simultaneously:
→ Volume discounts eliminated (Nov 2025) — 13.64% base price increase, quietly
→ Compliance enforcement — $13/user/month add-on surfacing at renewal tables now
→ July 1 price increases — E3 8%, E5 5%, Frontline F1 33%, F3 25%
One client. Same SKUs. Same tenant. 20% reduction when competitive bidding replaced sole-source renewal.
Microsoft licensing is a 7-8 figure decision. Treat it like one.
