Microsoft Licencing:  Don’t Just Renew, Rethink
Join our webinar to understand the 2026 changes and make your next Microsoft renewal work harder.

Microsoft pricing, packaging and licensing are changing, bringing new considerations for organisations approaching renewal.

Join Cisilion’s Microsoft licensing experts for a practical webinar exploring what the changes mean for your organisation, where there may be opportunities to optimise your Microsoft investment, and what you should consider before your next renewal.

Date: Thursday 3 December
Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 pm BST
Location: Online

What do the Microsoft changes mean for you?

With changes to Microsoft pricing and new commercial incentives, now is a good time to take a closer look at your Microsoft estate.

But this isn’t simply about switching agreements or buying more licences.

It’s about understanding what you’re using today, what you actually need, and whether your current licensing model still gives you the right balance of cost, flexibility and control.

That is exactly what we’ll unpack during this webinar.

What we'll cover

During the session, our Microsoft experts will explore:

What's changing

A simple breakdown of the latest Microsoft pricing, packaging and licensing changes and what they could mean for your organisation.

How to optimise before you renew
How to identify unused licences, understand your users’ requirements and avoid paying for technology you don’t need.
EA vs CSP
When EA might still be the right option, when CSP could make sense, and why a blended approach may sometimes be worth considering.
The opportunity around Copilot and Microsoft 365 E7
How Microsoft 365 E7 brings together Microsoft 365 E5, Copilot, Entra Suite and Agent 365, and what organisations should consider before investing.
Getting more from your Microsoft investment

How licensing can connect with your wider plans across AI, security, managed services and ongoing optimisation.
