Changes to Microsoft 365 License Rates

Microsoft License Pricing is Increasing in 2022 – Lock in Your Current License Rate for 1 Year

Microsoft has indicated that effective July 1, 2022, ALL Microsoft 365 licenses will receive an additional 20% price increase if you are in a monthly commitment.

To alleviate the added expense, KiteTech is offering our clients the option to lock in their current license rate for 1 year to avoid the July 1st price increase. You can do this by opting-in to an Annual Commitment Agreement. Below are the two options:

 

  • Option 1 – Default Monthly Option: All licenses will see a 20% price increase on July 1st.

 

  • Option 2 – Annual Commitment Option: Pricing is locked in at the current price and number of licenses for 1 year. Billing will continue on a monthly basis. Please note that with this option you cannot decrease the original number of licenses purchased. Also, should you discontinue your KiteTech services, you are responsible for the balance remaining on the annual commitment. 

 

Please let your KiteTech Account Manager know which commitment option you are selecting. Please note, that if we do not hear from you, the Default Monthly Option will be selected for you and the 20% rate increase will go into effect on your July 2022 invoice.
