Jun 4Yes. Microsoft supports moving a customer relationship under a CSP partner even if you started out with a direct Azure subscription.
How it typically works
- Your partner initiates a relationship request, and you approve it through the Microsoft admin portal.
- Existing Azure resources generally stay running without downtime — the change affects billing and support, not your deployed infrastructure.
- Some older subscription types may need to be converted to a CSP-compatible offer (like an Azure Plan) as part of the move.
What changes
You'll start receiving one consolidated invoice from your partner instead of billing directly from Microsoft, and your partner becomes your first point of contact for support and licensing questions.
