Hi Sara, thanks for your questions and thanks to Julian_Sharp for assisting.
Question 1 - no, if you have been transacting in the ecosystem (achievement codes, surveys, etc.) then you do not need to reenroll or renew any benefits package. With the announcement of LAPs going away in August, we landed a new onboarding process for new partners that is not tied to any benefits or purchase. Only new partners need to complete this onboarding, not existing TSPs.
Question 2 - Any partner type in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (what we used to call the Microsoft Partner Network) can purchased the new benefits packages. They are not just for TSPs. As for how TSPs can use the licenses, we are the only partner type permitted to use the licenses for customer trainings (revenue generating activities). You can also use the licenses for business activity. The document where this can be found is here (page 4).
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
