Azure Consumption Commitment Benefit

The Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) is a contractual agreement where your organization commits to spending a specific amount on Azure over a defined period. Eligible Microsoft Marketplace purchases automatically count toward fulfilling this commitment.

Important

  • Azure prepayment (previously called "monetary commitment") isn't eligible for this benefit.
  • Exclusions might apply to Azure CtC agreements that were signed before this marketplace benefit. For eligibility questions, contact your Microsoft account executive.
  • The MACC benefit only applies to licenses that are exclusively used in Azure. If the license is deployed in a hybrid environment or on-premises, the purchased license is not eligible to contribute to your organization's commitment.

Key guidelines for using your MACC in Marketplace

  • Eligible Marketplace Offers: Look for the "Azure benefit eligible" badge in Microsoft Marketplace to identify solutions that contribute to your MACC.
  • Purchasing Requirements: To ensure contributions count toward your MACC, make purchases through Marketplace within Azure portal (Azure portal) using an Azure subscription tied to your organization's agreement.
  • Marketplace Checkout: While Microsoft Marketplace displays the "Azure benefit eligible" badge, purchases made directly on Microsoft Marketplace via credit card do not contribute to your MACC. To ensure the purchase counts toward your MACC, complete the purchase through Marketplace within Azure portal by clicking the "Get it in Azure portal" button during checkout.

Note

Microsoft Azure services, as defined in the Microsoft Product Terms and billed to your organization through a Marketplace deployment, inherently contribute toward your organization's commitment. Additionally, when you purchase Azure benefit-eligible offers from Microsoft partners through Marketplace, 100% of the pretax purchase amount also contributes toward your commitment.
