New MCPP Subscription in Azure
Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong forum. Earlier this year I renewed my Action Pack subscription and had to link my billing profile at the same time. Once that had gone through, I noticed that I ...
Hi Finntec ,
here you have the answer:

So you need to activate the new Azure Subscription.
Then you need to open a Microsoft Support case:
- Open a Partner Center Support Case with the following information
- Problem Summary:
"Please link the Azure Sponsoring Credits Subscription with the "Sub ID ##########" to the Azure Subscription "ID ##########""
Well I eventually managed to get some time to do this and sadly it didn't work. The message from the engineer from partner Support Delivery was that "transferring the Azure Sponsoring Credits Subscription to an Azure Subscription is not possible by design"
I was advised to open another call with the Azure team about the MCCP subscription however I've decided to take the nuclear option and delete the MCCP subscription and continue using my old MPN subscription. I'm only using the subscriptions as test/ sandboxing which uses my credits so for me it doesn't matter too much.
Thank you for trying though!
- Is this required though?
My Microsoft Partner Network subscription is still active and I'm getting monthly credits as normal. Just I now also see MCPP subscription option but have been ignoring it as everything works.
What benefit does the MCPP subscription give me, or will my existing subscription stop receiving credits? Do I have to recreate my entire Azure environment to use the new subscription? !!! or will moving resources just move everything across, and there won't be any down time (active VMs running for example)?
I'm on a MAPS that was renewed a few months back.- JillArmourMicrosoft

tjmoore this is a response from the benefits team, I hope this helps:
MCPP subscription is just a subscription that is automatically created when partners sign the new MCA. It does not give any additional new benefits. This will have no impact on the monthly Azure credits that the partner is receiving as a part of MAPS.
