Volume Licensing Center is silently gone – welcome admin.microsoft.cloud
After a long time of transition, severely delayed by COVID-19, the old VLSC portal is now gone and replace by admin.microsoft.cloud for most of all volume licensing customers
View on VLSC webpage – no longer giving you access to a Vista like User Experience
I came across this when I was looking to edit permissions on licensing contracts for a customer.
The new and vastly improved experience of VLSC is found in
admin.microsoft.cloud > Billing > Your Products
example in admin.microsoft.cloud for permissions on contracts
These products include access to following licensing programs MPSA, EA, Open Value, Open, Open Value subscription, commonly known as “VL” or Volume Licensing.
while admin.microsoft.cloud > Billing > Licenses
Licenses in contrary to products contains all MCA, called Microsoft Customer Agreement or more commonly known as CSP.
You will see your licenses in admin.microsoft.cloud, granted you did the VLSC to Azure Portal transition in time, around 2022 through late 2023 and have obtained permissions correctly.
The new permission editor is a breeze! Same as the complete UX. Hats off Microsoft!
as per customer reports, most of this change went unnoticed. While there was communication via email for the beginning of transition and “to do” to setup “marry” VLSC with a busines account, nothing less than Entra and Azure, this change of the end of service was not communicated.
