The function is used when a customer has an existing Office 365 subscription through EA, Open Advisor, or purchased directly through Microsoft. This will allow you to sell licenses under the Microsoft CSP Program.

There are a few things to check before you move your customers’ licenses from other licensing channels or from other partners to rhipe Microsoft CSP:
1. To move a tenant with subscriptions from the Open program: First, check the expiry date of your customer's Microsoft online subscription. Move to rhipe CSP program within 30 days upon expiry of your customer's subscription.
2. To move a tenant with subscriptions from Web direct (direct purchase from Microsoft): First, follow the instructions below to transition the tenant and purchase the subscriptions through rhipe. Then, raise your service request online in the Office 365 admin center and ask the billing support team to cancel the subscription, stating that the customer is moving to CSP program so that Microsoft will waive the early termination penalty equivalent to a 1-month subscription.
3. To move subscriptions from other CSP indirect providers or other CSP direct resellers to rhipe CSP: Follow the steps below to transition the tenant and create a subscription with the correct license quantity through rhipe CSP. Then, cancel the subscription with the existing CSP partner. You will need to ensure that your customer's contractual obligation with the previous reseller is fulfilled to avoid any dispute.
4. To move subscriptions from another rhipe CSP reseller to you: Please raise a support case via email to
partner.support@rhipe.com. You will need to ensure that your customer's contractual obligation with the previous rhipe CSP reseller is fulfilled to avoid any dispute.

Once confirmed, you will be greeted with a sign-in page to your Admin Center - here, you need to accept rhipe as a 'Delegated Admin' to enable rhipe to provision Microsoft online service Licenses for the end customer.
